Patterns are specifications of a (typically short) length of sequence to be found. They can specify a search for an exact sequence or they can allow various ambiguities, matches to variable lengths of sequence and repeated subsections of the sequence.
fuzzpro intelligently selects the optimum searching algorithm to use, depending on the complexity of the search pattern specified.

Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
[-sequence] seqall Protein sequence(s) filename and optional
format, or reference (input USA)
-pattern pattern The standard IUPAC one-letter codes for the
amino acids are used.
The symbol 'x' is used for a position where
any amino acid is accepted.
Ambiguities are indicated by listing the
acceptable amino acids for a given position,
between square parentheses '[ ]'. For
example: [ALT] stands for Ala or Leu or Thr.
Ambiguities are also indicated by listing
between a pair of curly brackets '{ }' the
amino acids that are not accepted at a given
position. For example: {AM} stands for any
amino acid except Ala and Met.
Each element in a pattern is separated from
its neighbor by a '-'. (Optional in
fuzzpro).
Repetition of an element of the pattern can
be indicated by following that element with
a numerical value or a numerical range
between parenthesis. Examples: x(3)
corresponds to x-x-x, x(2,4) corresponds to
x-x or x-x-x or x-x-x-x.
When a pattern is restricted to either the
N- or C-terminal of a sequence, that pattern
either starts with a '<' symbol or
respectively ends with a '>' symbol.
A period ends the pattern. (Optional in
fuzzpro).
For example, [DE](2)HS{P}X(2)PX(2,4)C

The PROSITE pattern definition from the PROSITE documentation follows.
For example, in SWISSPROT entry 100K_RAT you can look for the pattern:
[DE](2)HS{P}X(2)PX(2,4)C
This means: Two Asps or Glus in any order followed by His, Ser, any residue other then Pro, then two of any residue followed by Pro followed by two to four of any residue followed by Cys.
The search is case-independent, so 'AAA' matches 'aaa'.
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 fuzzpro writes a 'seqtable' report file.
