Overview

trimseq is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Edit" command group(s).

Options

Input section

-sequence seqall

Additional section

-window integer

This determines the size of the region that is considered when deciding whether the percentage of ambiguity is greater than the threshold. A value of 5 means that a region of 5 letters in the sequence is shifted along the sequence from the ends and trimming is done only if there is a greater or equal percentage of ambiguity than the threshold percentage. Default value: 1

-percent float

This is the threshold of the percentage ambiguity in the window required in order to trim a sequence. Default value: 100.0

-strict boolean

In nucleic sequences, trim off not only N's and X's, but also the nucleotide IUPAC ambiguity codes M, R, W, S, Y, K, V, H, D and B. In protein sequences, trim off not only X's but also B and Z. Default value: N

-star boolean

In protein sequences, trim off not only X's, but also the *'s Default value: N

Advanced section

-left boolean

Default value: Y

-right boolean

Default value: Y

Output section

-outseq seqoutall
