💖 CHAOS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to CHAOS(1e) — it's a page from the EMBOSS Manual for Debian, and no, the name is not a warning about your sleep schedule. it's a whole Unix manual page and i'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

chaos — draw a chaos game representation plot for a nucleotide sequence. yes literally that's the whole vibe. a plot. for nucleotides. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so here's how you actually run it, no cap:

chaos -sequence sequence -graph graph

and if you're lost and just need a hand:

chaos -help

that's it. that's the whole interface. lowkey elegant fr fr. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

chaos is a command line program straight out of EMBOSS — and EMBOSS stands for “the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”, in case you were wondering what that acronym was doing just sitting there. 🧚

it belongs to the "Nucleic:Composition" command group(s). so like, it hangs out with the composition girlies. the nucleic acid composition clique. you know the type. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🌸 Input section 🌸

  • -sequence sequence — this is where you hand over your sequence, bestie. that's the input.

🌸 Output section 🌸

  • -graph graph — and this is where the plot lands. the chaos game representation goes here. 🎨
