Function

Reverse and complement a nucleotide sequence

Description

revseq reads one or more nucleotide sequences and writes to file the reverse complement (also known as the anti-sense or reverse sense) of each sequence. It can also output just the reversed sequence or just the complement of the sequence.

Usage

Here is a sample session with revseq

To create the reverse complement (reverse sense) of 'tembl:x65923' in the file 'x65923.rev':


% revseq tembl:x65923 x65923.rev 
Reverse and complement a nucleotide sequence

Go to the input files for this example
Go to the output files for this example

Example 2

To create the complement of 'tembl:x65923' in the file 'x65923.rev':


% revseq tembl:x65923 x65923.rev -norev 
Reverse and complement a nucleotide sequence

Go to the output files for this example

Example 3

To create the reverse of 'tembl:x65923' in the file 'x65923.rev':


% revseq tembl:x65923 x65923.rev -nocomp 
Reverse and complement a nucleotide sequence

Input file format

revseq reads one or more nucleotide sequences.

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').

Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl

Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.

The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.

Output file format

The output is a standard EMBOSS sequence file.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -osformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: embl, genbank, gff, pir, swiss, dasgff, debug, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, excel, feattable, motif, nametable, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq.

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.
