TFSCAN(1e)

💖 TFSCAN(1e) — the EMBOSS Manual for Debian, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're learning tfscan and it's gonna be a whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

tfscan — identify transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tfscan -sequence seqall -menu list -custom datafile -mismatch integer
       [-minlength integer] -outfile report

tfscan -help

so you clock in with a -sequence, pick your -menu, maybe drop a -custom file, set your -mismatch, optionally tweak -minlength (it's in brackets, meaning it's optional, not that we love it less 🥺), and yeet it all into -outfile. periodt.

and if you just want the tea, there's tfscan -help. 🫶

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

tfscan is a command line program from EMBOSS — and yes that stands for "the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite", iconic name, no notes. 🎀

it lives in the "Nucleic:Transcription" command group(s), so if you're browsing your mental filing cabinet, that's where she hangs out. 💜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🌈 Input section

• -sequence seqall — your sequence input, bestie. this is the DNA you're feeding in.
• -menu list — the menu of stuff to scan with. default value: V. ✨
• -custom datafile — your own custom data file, for when you're feeling extra and the built-in menu just isn't giving. 🙈

🔥 Required section

• -mismatch integer — not optional, not negotiable, she's required. set your mismatch value here. 💀

🎀 Additional section

• -minlength integer — minimum length, adorable, optional. default value: 1. 🍓

👑 Output section

• -outfile report — where the report goes. your results, your moment, your main character energy. ⭐
