DREG(1e)

📦 version 6.6.0, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 DREG(1e) — like, the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about dreg from the EMBOSS Manual for Debian. this is DREG(1e), section 1e of the manual, and it's genuinely one of those little tools that just works. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dreg — Regular expression search of nucleotide sequence(s)

like, you give it nucleotides, you give it a regex, it goes hunting. it's giving detective but for DNA. 🔍💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dreg -sequence seqall -pattern regexp -outfile report
dreg -help

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two ways in: the actual search, or the little -help cry for assistance. 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

dreg is a command line program from EMBOSS — and yes, that's “the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”, iconic name, no notes. 🌈

it belongs to the "Nucleic:Motifs" command group(s). so if you're out here living your motif-hunting main character era, this is your girl. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

💜 Input section

  • -sequence seqall — your nucleotide sequence input, one or many, whatever you're serving today. 🧬
  • -pattern regexp — the regular expression you want to search with. the pattern. the blueprint. the moment. ✨

🍓 Output section

  • -outfile report — where the report lands. your results, written out, glowing, ready for you. 📝

😭 BUGS 😭

found a bug? not the vibe, but okay, we deal with it. bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system at http://bugs.debian.org/emboss, or you can go straight to the EMBOSS developers at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031. go tell them, bestie, they want to know. 🐛💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

dreg is fully documented via the tfm(1) system. so if you want the whole lore, that's where it lives. iykyk. 📚
