INFOSEQ(1e)

✨ INFOSEQ ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the infoseq manual page, living in section 1e of the EMBOSS Manual for Debian. Yes we're doing manpage lore today, it's giving study date energy. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

infoseq — Display basic information about sequences ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Like, here's how you actually call her:

infoseq -sequence seqall -columns boolean -delimiter string
        [-outfile outfile] [-html boolean] -only boolean
        -heading boolean -usa boolean -database boolean -name boolean
        -accession boolean -gi boolean -seqversion boolean -type boolean
        -length boolean -pgc boolean -organism boolean
        -description boolean

And the emergency-help era:

infoseq -help

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So infoseq is a command line program from EMBOSS, aka “the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite” 🌈. And it is part of the "Data retrieval:Sequence data" command group(s), iykyk. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🌱 Input section

• -sequence seqall — the sequence input, bestie. She's seqall, so she's eating. 🍓

🔥 Advanced section

• -columns boolean — Set this on (Y) and the sequence info gets printed into neat, aligned columns in the output file, slay. Leave it unset (N) and instead the information records get delimited by a character, which you can pick with the -delimiter option. Translating that into group-chat: if -columns is on, then -delimiter is overriden. That's just how it is, no cap. Default value: Y
• -delimiter string — This string, which is usually a single character only, delimits individual records in the text output file. Could be a space character, a tab character, a pipe character, or literally any other character or string, she contains multitudes 💜. Default value: |

🎀 Output section

• -outfile outfile — Type the name of a file here and this program will write the sequence details into that file. Main character behavior. Default value: stdout
• -html boolean — Default value: N
• -only boolean — This is the shortcut for when you only want a few things displayed, and honestly? obsessed. Instead of specifying '-nohead -noname -noacc -notype -nopgc -nodesc' just to get only the length output, you can specify '-only -length'. That's the whole hack. Default value: N
• -heading boolean — Default value: Y
• -usa boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -database boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -name boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -accession boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -gi boolean — Default value: N
• -seqversion boolean — Default value: N
• -type boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -length boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -pgc boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -organism boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
• -description boolean — Default value: @(!$(only))
