Function
Shuffles a set of sequences maintaining compositionDescription
shuffleseq reads one or more sequences and writes them out again in a random (shuffled) order. The number of shuffles may be specified. Only the order of sequences is changed, no bases or residues are changed.
Usage
Here is a sample session with shuffleseqThis makes two randomised copies of the input sequence:
% shuffleseq -shuffle 2 Shuffles a set of sequences maintaining composition Input sequence(s): tembl:L48662 output sequence(s) [l48662.fasta]: |

Input file format
shuffleseq reads one or more nucleotide or protein 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.
