✨ NAME ✨

bp_mutate.pl — randomly mutagenize a single protein or DNA sequence 💅

okay so picture this, bestie: this is BP_MUTATE(1p), one of the user-contributed Perl docs, and it's literally just a little script that takes ONE sequence and messes with it on purpose. On purpose!! Randomly! It's giving chaos but make it science 🧬✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

./bp_mutate.pl -p 25 -i test.fa -n 5 -f swiss -o muts.swiss

#or

./bp_mutate.pl --percent=25 --input=test.fa --number=5 -output=x.fa

both of those hit the same, you can do short flags or long flags, whatever vibe you're on 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the whole thing is: you hand it a single protein or DNA sequence, and it randomly mutagenizes it. one time, or multiple times, your call. you tell it what percent to mutate and how many mutant sequences you want back. then it either prints the mutagenized sequences to STDOUT or writes them into an output file. iconic behavior honestly 👑

here are the options, no gatekeeping:

  • -h, --help — Help. it tells you stuff 🎀
  • -p, --percent — Percent mutagenized
  • -n, --number — Number of mutant sequences created
  • -o, --output — Output file (optional)
  • -f, --format — Output format (default: fasta)
  • -i, --input — Input file
