πŸ’– VECTORSTRIP(1e) πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round β€” this is a page from the EMBOSS Manual for Debian, and it's about a lil tool called vectorstrip. Let's get into it 🧚


✨ NAME ✨

vectorstrip β€” Removes vectors from the ends of nucleotide sequence(s) πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vectorstrip -sequence seqall -readfile toggle -vectorsfile infile
            -mismatch integer -besthits boolean -alinker string
            -blinker string [-allsequences boolean] -outfile outfile
            -outseq seqoutall

vectorstrip -help
see how -allsequences boolean is chilling in square brackets? that's the optional one, the rest are just... there. mandatory. standing there. πŸ’…

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So. vectorstrip is a command line program from EMBOSS β€” and if you're wondering what that stands for, it's literally "the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite". No cap, that's the whole name. 😭

It lives in the "Edit" command group(s), which is exactly the vibe you'd expect β€” it edits stuff. Specifically, it strips vectors off the ends of your nucleotide sequences. cleanup era. ✨


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

🫢 Input section

  • -sequence seqall β€” this is where you hand over your sequence input, bestie. πŸ“

🌈 Vector input options

  • -readfile toggle β€” a little on/off switch. Default value: Y βœ…

πŸ‘‘ Required section

πŸ’– Output section

  • -allsequences boolean β€” Default value: N (and remember, this one's the optional one in the synopsis! πŸ™ˆ)
  • -outfile outfile β€” where the output file goes. πŸ“
  • -outseq seqoutall β€” and where the output sequences go. 🌸
