ODDCOMP(1e)

✨ ODDCOMP β€” the manual page (1e) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to oddcomp from the EMBOSS manual for Debian. this is the glow-up of the classic manual page and we're getting into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

oddcomp β€” identify proteins with specified sequence word composition. that's it, that's the vibe. it goes looking for proteins whose words are arranged the way you told it to want them πŸ”


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

oddcomp -sequence seqall -infile infile -fullwindow toggle
        -window integer -ignorebz boolean -outfile outfile

oddcomp -help

yes, that's the whole command. -help is right there if you get lost, no shame in it 🫢


🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

oddcomp is a command line program from EMBOSS ("the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite"). it's part of the "Protein:Composition" command group(s). so like, it hangs out with the composition girlies πŸ‘‘


✨ OPTIONS ✨

πŸ’– Input section πŸ’–

  • -sequence seqall β€” the sequence input, in the seqall flavor.
  • -infile infile β€” this is a file in the format of the output produced by 'compseq', and it's the one that sets the minimum frequencies of words for this analysis. so if you already ran compseq and got a file, that file is the blueprint bestie πŸ“„

πŸŽ€ Required section πŸŽ€

  • -fullwindow toggle β€” turn this one on (Y) if you want the window size to be set to the length of the current protein. otherwise leave it unset, and you'll be prompted for a window size to use. default value: N
  • -window integer β€” this is the size of the window in which to count. so if you wanna count frequencies in a 40 aa stretch, you enter 40 here. default value: 30

🧚 Advanced section 🧚

  • -ignorebz boolean β€” the amino acid code B represents Asparagine or Aspartic acid, and the code Z represents Glutamine or Glutamic acid. these are not commonly used codes, and you may wish not to count words containing them, just noting them in the count of 'Other' words. default value: Y

πŸ‘‘ Output section πŸ‘‘

  • -outfile outfile β€” this is the results file. your receipts, basically 🧾

πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (<http://bugs.debian.org/emboss>), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031>). found a bug? not me being the one to tell you, but go tell them πŸ™ˆ


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

oddcomp is fully documented via the tfm(1) system. iykyk ✨
