<H2>
    Function
</H2>
Display a sequence with features, translation etc
<H2>
    Description
</H2>

<b>showseq</b> displays a protein or a nucleic acid sequence in a style
suitable for publication.
<p>

The output is sent to the screen by default for the user to view, but it
can write the results to a file.
<p>

The display style of the output is very flexible.  The user can select a
style from the pre-set choice of formats, or can design a style to suit
their purposes and aesthetic tastes.

<p>

If designing a new format, you can choose the order in which things are
printed around the sequence. The things that you can display are:

<p>

<pre>
s	Sequence
b	Blank line
1	Frame 1 translation
2	Frame 2 translation
3	Frame 3 translation
-1	Frame -1 translation
-2	Frame -2 translation
-2	Frame -3 translation
t	Ticks line
n	Number ticks line
c	Complement sequence
f	Features (from the feature table or from a command line -ufo file)
r	Restriction enzyme cut sites in the forward sense
-r	Restriction enzyme cut sites in the reverse sense
a	User Annotation
</pre>

<p>

The letters for these things can be in upper or lower case.
<br>
They can be displayed in any order.

<p>

You do not have to make your own format; there is a selection of
pre-defined standard formats for you to choose from. 

<p>


The default standard format displays the following: for every new line
that the sequence starts to write, the output display will contain first
a blank line ('b'), then the position numbers of the ticks ('n') then
the ticks every 10 characters ('t') then the sequence itself ('s') then
any user-supplied annotation ('a') then the features from the feature
table ('f').  Subsequent lines of the sequence output will repeat this
format. 

<p>
         
The 'thing' codes used in the list of standard formats are:

<p>

<pre>
Sequence only:                  S A
Default sequence:               B N T S A F
Pretty sequence:                B N T S A
One frame translation:          B N T S B 1 A F
Three frame translations:       B N T S B 1 2 3 A F
Six frame translations:         B N T S B 1 2 3 T -3 -2 -1 A F
Restriction enzyme map:         B R S N T C -R B 1 2 3 T -3 -2 -1 A
Baroque:                        B 1 2 3 N T R S T C -R T -3 -2 -1 A F
</pre>          

<p>          

The displayed sequence can be numbered either by numbering the start and
ending positions, or by placing a ruler with ticks above or below the
sequence.

<p>

The width of a line can be set.  The width of a margin around the
sequence reserved for numbering can be set.  The initial position to
start numbering from can be set.

<p>

The sequence can be translated, using the selectable genetic code
tables.  The translation can be done in one, three or six frames.  The
translation can be displayed in one-letter or three-letter amino acid
codes.  The translation can optionally be displayed only when it is in
open reading frames (ORFs) of a specified minimum size.  One or more
specified regions of the sequence can be individually translated.

<p>

Specified regions of the sequence can be displayed in uppercase to
highlight them.

<p>

The output can be formatted for HTML.

<p>

If the output is being formatted for HTML, then specified regions of the
sequence can be displayed in any valid HTML colours.

<p>

The Restriction Enzyme database (REBASE) is a collection of information
about restriction enzymes and related proteins.  It contains published
and unpublished references, recognition and cleavage sites,
isoschizomers, commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal
and sequence data.  DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases,
nicking enzymes, specificity subunits and control proteins are also
included.  Most recently, putative DNA methyltransferases and
restriction enzymes, as predicted from analysis of genomic sequences,
are also listed.

<p>

The home page of REBASE is: 
<A HREF="http://rebase.neb.com/">
http://rebase.neb.com/</A>

<p>

This program can use REBASE data to find the recognition sites and/or
cut sites of restriction enzymes in a nucleic acid sequence.

<p>

This program can display the cut sites on both strands.

<p>

One potentially very useful option is '-flatreformat' that displays not
only the cut sites which many other restriction cut-site programs will
show, but also shows the recognition site.

<p>

If the sequence is in EMBL, Genbank or SwissProt format, the feature table
of the sequence can be dispalyed with the sequence. GFF file features can also
be displayed if they are included on the command line with the <b>-ufo=file</b>
qualifier.

<p>
The standard list of output formats are only a small selection of the possible ways in which a sequence might be displayed.  Precise control over the output format is acheived by selecting the qualifier '-format 0'  (Option 0 in the list of things to display).  For example, by choosing format '0' and then specifying that we want to display the things: 'b,s,t,c', we will output the sequence in the following way:

                                  names from the REBASE database. You can
                                  specify enzymes by giving their names with

                                  'HincII,hinfI,ppiI,hindiii'.
                                  The case of the names is not important. You
                                  can specify a file of enzyme names to read

                                  the enzyme names with a '@' character in
                                  front of it, for example, '@enz.list'.

                                  lines are concatenated together with a comma
                                  character ',' and then treated as the list
                                  of enzymes to search for.

                                  match any feature source you wish to show.
                                  The source name is usually either the name
                                  of the program that detected the feature or
                                  it is the feature table (eg: EMBL) that the
                                  feature came from.
                                  The source may be wildcarded by using '*'.
                                  If you wish to show more than one source,

   -matchtag           string     [*] Tags are the types of extra values that
                                  a feature may have. For example in the EMBL
                                  feature table, a 'CDS' type of feature may
                                  have the tags '/codon', '/codon_start',
                                  '/db_xref', '/EC_number', '/evidence',
                                  '/exception', '/function', '/gene',

                                  '/usedin'. Some of these tags also have
                                  values, for example '/gene' can have the
                                  value of the gene name.
                                  By default any feature tag in the feature
                                  table is shown. You can set this to match
                                  any feature tag you wish to show.
                                  The tag may be wildcarded by using '*'.
                                  If you wish to show more than one tag,
                                  separate their names with the character '|',
                                  eg:

   -matchvalue         string     [*] Tag values are the values associated
                                  with a feature tag. Tags are the types of
                                  extra values that a feature may have. For
                                  example in the EMBL feature table, a 'CDS'
                                  type of feature may have the tags '/codon',
                                  '/codon_start', '/db_xref', '/EC_number',

                                  '/transl_table', or '/usedin'. Only some of
                                  these tags can have values, for example
                                  '/gene' can have the value of the gene name.
                                  By default any feature tag value in the
                                  feature table is shown. You can set this to
                                  match any feature tag valueyou wish to show.
                                  The tag value may be wildcarded by using
                                  '*'.
                                  If you wish to show more than one tag value,
                                  separate their names with the character
                                  '|', eg:
                                  pax* | 10 (Any string is accepted)
   -stricttags         boolean    [N] By default if any tag/value pair in a
                                  feature matches the specified tag and value,
                                  then all the tags/value pairs of that
                                  feature will be displayed. If this is set to
                                  be true, then only those tag/value pairs in
                                  a feature that match the specified tag and
                                  value will be displayed.

   Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
   -flatreformat       boolean    [N] This changes the output format to one
                                  where the recognition site is indicated by a
                                  row of '===' characters and the cut site is
                                  pointed to by a '>' character in the
                                  forward sense, or a '<' in the reverse sense
                                  strand.
   -mincuts            integer    [1] This sets the minimum number of cuts for
                                  any restriction enzyme that will be
                                  considered. Any enzymes that cut fewer times
                                  than this will be ignored. (Integer from 1
                                  to 1000)
   -maxcuts            integer    [2000000000] This sets the maximum number of
                                  cuts for any restriction enzyme that will
                                  be considered. Any enzymes that cut more
                                  times than this will be ignored. (Integer up
                                  to 2000000000)
   -sitelen            integer    [4] This sets the minimum length of the
                                  restriction enzyme recognition site. Any
                                  enzymes with sites shorter than this will be
                                  ignored. (Integer from 2 to 20)
   -single             boolean    [N] If this is set then this forces the
                                  values of the mincuts and maxcuts qualifiers
                                  to both be 1. Any other value you may have
                                  set them to will be ignored.
   -[no]blunt          boolean    [Y] This allows those enzymes which cut at
                                  the same position on the forward and reverse
                                  strands to be considered.
   -[no]sticky         boolean    [Y] This allows those enzymes which cut at
                                  different positions on the forward and
                                  reverse strands, leaving an overhang, to be
                                  considered.
   -[no]ambiguity      boolean    [Y] This allows those enzymes which have one
                                  or more 'N' ambiguity codes in their
                                  pattern to be considered
   -plasmid            boolean    [N] If this is set then this allows searches
                                  for restriction enzyme recognition site and
                                  cut postions that span the end of the
                                  sequence to be considered.
   -[no]commercial     boolean    [Y] If this is set, then only those enzymes
                                  with a commercial supplier will be searched
                                  for. This qualifier is ignored if you have
                                  specified an explicit list of enzymes to
                                  search for, rather than searching through
                                  'all' the enzymes in the REBASE database. It
                                  is assumed that, if you are asking for an
                                  explicit enzyme, then you probably know
                                  where to get it from and so all enzymes
                                  names that you have asked to be searched
                                  for, and which cut, will be reported whether
                                  or not they have a commercial supplier.
   -[no]limit          boolean    [Y] This limits the reporting of enzymes to
                                  just one enzyme from each group of
                                  isoschizomers. The enzyme chosen to
                                  represent an isoschizomer group is the
                                  prototype indicated in the data file
                                  'embossre.equ', which is created by the
                                  program 'rebaseextract'. If you prefer
                                  different prototypes to be used, make a copy
                                  of embossre.equ in your home directory and
                                  edit it. If this value is set to be false
                                  then all of the input enzymes will be
                                  reported. You might like to set this to
                                  false if you are supplying an explicit set
                                  of enzymes rather than searching 'all' of
                                  them.
   -orfminsize         integer    [0] This sets the minimum size of Open
                                  Reading Frames (ORFs) to display in the
                                  translations. All other translation regions
                                  are masked by changing the amino acids to
                                  '-' characters. (Integer 0 or more)
   -threeletter        boolean    [N] Display protein sequences in

You can specifiy a file of ranges to display in uppercase by giving the
'-uppercase' qualifier the value '@' followed by the name of the file
containing the ranges.  (eg: '-upper @myfile').

<p>
          
The format of the range file is:

<p>

<ul>
      <li>Comment lines start with '#' in the first column.
      <li>Comment lines and blank lines are ignored.
      <li>The line may start with white-space.
      <li>There are two positive (integer) numbers per line separated by one
                or more space or
      <li>TAB characters.
      <li>The second number must be greater or equal to the first number.  
      <li>There can be optional text after the two numbers to annotate the line.
      <li>White-space before or after the text is removed.
</ul>

<p>

An example range file is:

<p>

<pre>          
# this is my set of ranges
12   23                           
 4   5       this is like 12-23, but smaller
67   10348   interesting region
</pre>

<p>

You can specifiy a file of ranges to highlight in a different colour
when outputting in HTML format (using the '-html' qualifier) by giving
the '-highlight' qualifier the value '@' followed by the name of the
file containing the ranges.  (eg: '-highlight @myfile').

<p>

The format of this file is very similar to the format of the above
uppercase range file, except that the text after the start and end
positions is used as the HTML colour name.  This colour name is used 'as
is' when specifying the colour in HTML in a '<FONT COLOR=xxx>'
construct, (where 'xxx' is the name of the colour).

<p>

The standard names of HTML font colours are given in:

<br>

<A HREF="http://http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html">
http://http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html</A>
and
<A HREF="http://www.ausmall.com.au/freegraf/ncolour2.htm">
http://www.ausmall.com.au/freegraf/ncolour2.htm</A>
and
<A HREF="http://mindprod.com/htmlcolours.html">
http://mindprod.com/htmlcolours.html</A>
(amongst other places).


<p>

An example highlight range file is:

<p>

<pre>          
# this is my set of ranges
12   23         red
 4   5          darkturquoise
67   10348      #FFE4E1
</pre>

<p>

You can specifiy a file of ranges to annotate
by giving
the '-annotate' qualifier the value '@' followed by the name of the
file containing the ranges.  (eg: '-annotate @myfile').

<p>
     
The format of this file is very similar to the format of the above
highlight range file, except that the text after the start and end
positions is used as the displayed text of the annotated region.

<p>

An example annotation range file is:

<p>
   
<pre>
# this is my set of ranges
12   23         exon 1
 4   5          CAP site
67   10348      exon 2
</pre>

<p>


You can specify a file of enzyme names to read in by giving the
'-enzymes' qualifier the name of the file holding the enzyme names with
a '@' character in front of it, for example, '@enz.list'.

<p>

Blank lines and lines starting with a '#' or '!' character are ignored
and all other lines are concatenated together with a comma character ','
and then treated as the list of enzymes to search for.

<p>
         
An example of a file of enzyme names is:

<p>

<pre>      
# my enzymes
HincII, ppiI
# other enzymes
hindiii
HinfI
</pre>

<p>

Most of the variants of the output format have already been described in
the 'Description' and 'Usage' sections, but here is some more just to
fill out this section ;-)

<p>

The output format is extremely variable and under the control of the 
qualifiers used.

<p>
          
The sequence can be formatted for HTML display by using the '-html'
qualifier.  The top and tail html tags &lt;HEAD&gt;, &lt;BODY&gt; etc.  are not
included as it is expected that the output of this program will be
included in a more extensive HTML page and so these parts are left to
the user to provide.

<p>

The name of the sequence is displayed, followed by the description of
the sequence.  These can be turned off with the '-noname' and
'-nodescription' qualifiers.

<p>
      
Then the sequence is output, one line at a time.  Any associated
information to be displayed is also output above and below the sequence
line, as specified by the '-format' and or '-things' qualifiers.  (See
the 'Description' section for detals).

<p>
          
The margins around the sequence are specified by the use of the
'-margin' qaulifier and any numbering of the sequence and its
translations are placed in the margin.

<p>

A display of the restriction enzyme cut sites can be selected via
'-format 6' option or the '-format 0 -thing b,r,s,-r' style of options.

<p>

The option '-format 7' will produce a formatted display of cut sites on
the sequence, with the six-frame translation below it.  The cut sites
are indicated by a slash character '\' that points to the poition
between the nucleotides where the cuts occur.  Cuts by many enzymes at
the same position are indicated by stacking the enzyme names on top of
each other.

<p>

At the end the section header 'Enzymes that cut' is displayed followed
by a list of the enzymes that cut the specified sequence and the number
of times that they cut.

<p>

The '-flatreformat' qualifier changes the display to emphasise the
recognition site of the restriction enzyme, which is indicated by a row
of '=' characters.  The cut site if pointed to by a '>' or '<' character
and if the cut site is not within or imemdiately adjacent to the
recognition site, they are linked by a row or '.' characters.

<p>

The name of the enzyme is displayed above (or below when the reverse
sense site if displayed) the recognition site.  The name of the enzyme
is also displayed above the cut site if this occurs on a different
display line to the recognition site (i.e.  if it wraps onto the next
line of sequence).




<H2>
    Data files
</H2>

<p>
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.

<p>

To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
<p>
<pre>
% embossdata -showall
</pre>
<p>
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your
current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:

<pre>

% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat

</pre>
<p>

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".

<p>
The directories are searched in the following order:

<ul>
   <li> . (your current directory)
   <li> .embossdata (under your current directory)
   <li> ~/ (your home directory)
   <li> ~/.embossdata
</ul>
<p>


<p>
The Genetic Code data files are based on the NCBI genetic code tables.
Their names and descriptions are:

<dl>
<dt>EGC.0 </dt><dd>
      Standard (Differs from GC.1 in that it only has initiation site 'AUG')
<dt>EGC.1 </dt><dd>

<p>

The format of these files is very simple.

<p>   

It consists of several lines of optional comments, each starting with
a '#' character.

These are followed the line: 'Genetic Code [n]', where 'n' is the
number of the genetic code file.

<p> 

This is followed by the description of the code and then by four lines
giving the IUPAC one-letter code of the translated amino acid, the
start codons (indicdated by an 'M') and the three bases of the codon,
lined up one on top of the other.

<p>      
The EMBOSS REBASE restriction enzyme data files are stored iin
directory 'data/REBASE/*' under the EMBOSS installation directory.

<p>

These files must first be set up using the program <a
href="rebaseextract.html">'<b>rebaseextract</b>'</a>.  Running
'rebaseextract' may be the job of your system manager.

<p>
      
The data files are stored in the REBASE directory of the standard EMBOSS
data directory. The names are:

<ul>
<li> embossre.enz     Cleavage information
<li> embossre.ref     Reference/methylation information
<li> embossre.sup     Supplier information
</ul>
	 
The column information is described at the top of the data files
	 
<p>
	 
The reported enzyme from any one group of isoschizomers (the prototype)
is specified in the REBASE database and the information is held in the
data file 'embossre.equ'.  You may edit this file to set your own
preferred prototype, if you wish. 
	 
<p>
	 
The format of the file "embossre.equ" is
<br>
Enzyme-name Prototype-name
	 
<p>
	 
i.e.  two columns of enzyme names separated by a space.  The first name
of the pair of enzymes is the name that is not preferred and the second
is the preferred (prototype) name.

<p>

If you ask for the sequence display to end at position '100', with the
qualifier '-send 100', it will display the sequence up to the end of the
line - position '120'.  This is a feature of this program to make the
display of things like restriction enzyme cutting sites easier.
<p>

It is not a bug. Please don't report it.
