Function

   Replace or delete sequence sections

Description

   biosed is a simple sequence editing utility that searches for a target
   subsequence in one or more input sequences and replaces it with an
   insert subsequence, or optionally, just deletes the target subsequence
   where found. If the target subsequence occurs more than once, then each
   instance of the target is replaced or deleted.

   The -position option allows a sequence position to be specified as an
   additional constraint for the match: a replacement / deletion only
   occurs if the start of a match is at the specified -position position.

Algorithm

   The target subsequence is just a short, literal sequence of characters.
   biosed cannot interpret cannot any sort of an ambiguity pattern such as
   a regular expression. A simple string match is done between the target
   and input sequences. If there is an exact matches then the replacement
   or deletion is done. The matching is case insensitive, independent of
   the case of both the input sequences and target.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with biosed

   Replace all 'T's with 'U's to create an RNA sequence


% biosed tembl:x65923 x65923.rna -target T -replace U
Replace or delete sequence sections


   Go to the input files for this example
   Go to the output files for this example

   Example 2

   Replace all 'PPP' protein motifs with 'XXPPPXX'


% biosed tsw:amir_pseae amir_pseae.pep -target PPP -replace XXPPPXX
Replace or delete sequence sections


   Go to the input files for this example
   Go to the output files for this example

Data files

   None.

Notes

   biosed was inspired by the useful UNIX utility sed which searches for a
   pattern in text and can replace or delete the found pattern.

References

   None.

Warnings

   No check for correct type (protein, nucleic, gapped etc) is made on the
   replacement sequence so you must ensure it is of the type required. Any
   text can be used, including characters only used in proteins (e.g. D,
   E, F, etc.), characters rarely used in proteins (e.g. U, J, O, etc),
   digits and punctuation characters.

Diagnostic Error Messages

   None.

Exit status

   It always exits with status 0.

Known bugs

   None.
