Function
Count and extract unique words in molecular sequence(s)Description
wordcount counts and extracts all possible unique sequence words of a specified size in one or more DNA sequences. It writes an output file giving all possible words for that word size with a count of each word in the input sequences. Optionally, only words occuring a specified minimum number of times are reported.
Usage
Here is a sample session with wordcount
% wordcount tembl:u68037 -wordsize=3 Count and extract unique words in molecular sequence(s) Output file [u68037.wordcount]: |

Input file format
wordcount reads one or more nucleotide or protein sequnces.
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.
