# marscan(1e)

Finds matrix/scaffold recognition (MRS) signatures in DNA sequences

## NAME

marscan - Finds matrix/scaffold recognition (MRS) signatures in DNA sequences

## SYNOPSIS

**marscan** **-sequence** *seqall* **-outfile** *report*

**marscan** **-help**

## DESCRIPTION

**marscan** is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Nucleic:Gene finding,Nucleic:Functional sites,Nucleic:Transcription" command group(s).

## OPTIONS

### Input section

- **-sequence** *seqall*

  ### Output section

- **-outfile** *report*

  File for output of MAR/SAR recognition signature (MRS) regions. This contains details of the MRS in normal GFF format. The MRS consists of two recognition sites, one of 8 bp and one of 16 bp on either sense strand of the genomic DNA, within 200 bp of each other.

## BUGS

Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group\_id=93650&atid=605031).
