Function

   Scan DNA sequences for transcription factors

Description

   jaspscan scans one or more DNA sequences for transcription factor
   binding sites from the JASPAR database. Matches are searched for using
   fast sequence word-matching, optionally allowing mismatches. Because
   the binding sites are so small, there will be many spurious (false
   positive) matches.

   An output file is written with information on the matches, including
   sequence ID and accession number, the start and end positions of the
   match in an input sequence and the sequence of the region where a match
   has been found. Binding factor information, where available, is given
   at the end of the matches for each matching entry.

                                  JASPAR matrix set. You can specify
                                  individual matrices by giving
                                  their names with commas between then, such
                                  as:
                                  'ma0001.1,ma0015*'.
                                  The case of the names is not important. You
                                  can specify a file of
                                  matrix names to read in by giving the name
                                  of the file holding the
                                  matrix names with a '@' character in front
                                  of it, for example,
                                  '@matrix.list'.
                                  Blank lines and lines starting with a hash
                                  character or '!' are ignored and all other
                                  lines are concatenated together with a comma
                                  character ',' and then treated as the list
                                  of enzymes to search
                                  for.
                                  An example of a file of matrix names is:
                                  ! my matrices

                                  then a hit will be reported (Any numeric
                                  value)
  [-outfile]           report     [*.jaspscan] Output report file name

Input file format

   jaspscan reads one or more nucleotide sequences.

   The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').

   Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS
   installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl

   Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format
   written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.

   The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier
   -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required
   format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em),
   genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw),
   dasgff and debug.

   See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further
   information on sequence formats.

Output file format

   The output is a standard EMBOSS report file.

   The results can be output in one of several styles by using the
   command-line qualifier -rformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the
   name of the required format. The available format names are: embl,
   genbank, gff, pir, swiss, dasgff, debug, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq,
   draw, restrict, excel, feattable, motif, nametable, regions, seqtable,
   simple, srs, table, tagseq.

   See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/ReportFormats.html for further
   information on report formats.

   By default the report is in 'seqtable' format.

Data files

   EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in
   the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS
   environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.

   To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:

% embossdata -showall

   To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your
   current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:

% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat


   Users can provide their own data files in their own directories.
   Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for
   tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files
   for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again
   in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".

   The directories are searched in the following order:
     * . (your current directory)
     * .embossdata (under your current directory)
     * ~/ (your home directory)
     * ~/.embossdata

   The EMBOSS JASPAR transcription site files are stored in directory
   'data/JASPAR/*' under the EMBOSS installation directory.

   These files must first be set up using the program 'jaspextract'.
   Running 'jaspextract' may be the job of your system manager.

   The data files are stored in the JASPAR directory of the standard
   EMBOSS data directory. The subdirectory names are:
     * JASPAR_CORE Core files
     * JASPAR_FAM Family files
     * JASPAR_PHYLOFACT Phylogeny files

   The column information is described on the JASPAR home page
   http://jaspar.genereg.net/
