Function

Finds regions of identity (exact matches) of two sequences

Description

wordmatch finds all regions of identity (exact matches) of a specified minimum size of two input sequences. These regions are reported in a standard EMBOSS alignment file and in standard EMBOSS sequence feature files.

Usage

Here is a sample session with wordmatch


% wordmatch tsw:hba_human tsw:hbb_human 
Finds regions of identity (exact matches) of two sequences
Word size [4]: 
Output alignment [hba_human.wordmatch]: 
Features output [HBA_HUMAN.gff]: 
Second features output [HBB_HUMAN.gff]:

Input file format

wordmatch reads two sets of 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 alignment file.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -aformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. Some of the alignment formats can cope with an unlimited number of sequences, while others are only for pairs of sequences.

The available multiple alignment format names are: multiple, simple, fasta, msf, clustal, mega, meganon, nexus,, nexusnon, phylip, phylipnon, selex, treecon, tcoffee, debug, srs.

The available pairwise alignment format names are: pair, markx0, markx1, markx2, markx3, markx10, match, sam, bam, score, srspair

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

By default the output is in 'match' format.

The matches in each set of input sequences are written as feature files.

The output is a standard EMBOSS feature file.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -offormat 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/FeatureFormats.html for further information on feature formats.

The normal 'report' header is output. It contains the details of the program run and the input sequences.

The data lines consist of five columns separated by spaces or TAB characters. Each line contains the information on one identical region. The first column is the length of the match. The second column is the name of the first sequence. The third column is the start and end position of the match. The next two columns are the name and positions of the second sequence.

Data files

None.

Notes

wordmatch will only report identical regions that are at least as long as the specified wordsize.

References
