Function

Split sequence(s) into smaller sequences

Description

splitter splits one or more input sequences into smaller, optionally overlapping, subsequences. The subsequence size and overlap (if any) may be specified. Optionally, feature information will be used.

Usage

Here is a sample session with splitter

Split a sequence into sub-sequences of 10,000 bases (the default size) with no overlap between the sub-sequences:


% splitter tembl:BA000025 ba000025.split 
Split sequence(s) into smaller sequences

Example 2

Split a sequence into sub-sequences of 50,000 bases with an overlap of 3,000 bases on each sub-sequence:


% splitter tembl:BA000025 ba000025.split -size=50000 -over=3000

Input File Format

splitter 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.

The names of the sequences are the same as the original sequence, with '_start-end' appended, where 'start', and 'end' are the start and end positions of the sub-sequence. eg: The name U01317 would be changed in the sub-sequences to: U01317_1-50000 and U01317_50001-73308 if they were split at the size of 50000 with no overlap.

Data files

None.

Notes

Splitting a large sequence into smaller sub-sequences for analysis might be useful in cases where a particularly memory or CPU intensive application will not run quickly enough or at all on the full sequence. This should seldom be necessary in EMBOSS.

By default, splitter will write all the sub-sequences to a single file. In some cases, particularly where non-EMBOSS programs are used, it is necessary to have a single sequence per file. To write the sub-sequences into separate files use the command-line switch -ossingle.
