💖 EQUICKTANDEM 💖

okay bestie, so this is equicktandem from the EMBOSS manual (that's section 1e, and yeah it's the Debian build of it). Sit down, hydrate, we're finding tandem repeats in nucleotide sequences and it's gonna be iconic. 🧬✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

equicktandem — finds tandem repeats in nucleotide sequences. that's it, that's the job. she's a finder. a tandem-repeat finder. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

equicktandem -sequence sequence -maxrepeat integer -threshold integer
             -outfile report -origfile outfile

equicktandem -help

no cap, that's the whole vibe. five args for the actual work, and one lil -help if you just need her to explain herself. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So. equicktandem is a command line program from EMBOSS, which stands for the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite — yes the quotes are theirs, I'm just being faithful bestie. 💜

She lives in the "Nucleic:Repeats" command group(s), which is honestly exactly where you'd expect to find her. Repeats girlies rise. 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

🌷 Input section

  • -sequence sequence — this is the input sequence you're feeding her. hand her a sequence, she does her thing. 💖

👑 Required section

like the name says, these two? required. no skipping. don't even try it.

  • -maxrepeat integer — default value: 600. yes, 600. write it down, it's important. ✨
  • -threshold integer — default value: 20. that's 20, bestie. not 2, not 200. twenty. 💅

🦋 Output section

  • -outfile report — where the report goes. 📄
  • -origfile outfile — the original file output, fr fr. 💾
also there's -help up in the synopsis, which is exactly what it sounds like — she'll explain herself to you. 🫶

😭 BUGS 😭

found a bug? not the vibe, but okay, report it. you've got two options and both are legit:

do it. the devs want to know. 👑

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

equicktandem is fully documented via the tfm(1) system. so if you want the deep lore, that's where you go. iykyk. 📚✨
