etandem |
Input sequences are converted into ACGT or N (so ambiguity codes are ignored).
The score is +1 for a match, -1 for a mismatch.
The first copy of a repeat is ignored.
The highest score is kept for each start position and repeat size.
The lowest score to be reported is set by the threshold score. The threshold score can be set on the command-line using the -threshold qualifier, the default is 20. For perfect repeats, the score is the length of the repeat (except for the first copy). Reduce the threshold score a little if you wish to to allow mismatches. Each mismatch scores -1 instead of +1 so it scores 2 less than a perfect match of the same number of bases.
Running with a wide range of repeat sizes is inefficient. That is why equicktandem was written - to give a rapid estimate of the major repeat sizes.
The input sequence is the human herpesvirus tandem repeat.

The output is a standard EMBOSS report file.
The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -rformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: embl, genbank, gff, pir, swiss, trace, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, excel, feattable, motif, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/ReportFormats.html for further information on report formats.
By default etandem writes a 'table' report file.
