# msbar(1e)

Mutate a sequence

## NAME

msbar - Mutate a sequence

## SYNOPSIS

**msbar** **-sequence** *seqall* **-othersequence** *seqall* **-count** *integer* **-point** *list* **-block** *list* **-codon** *list* **-inframe** *boolean* **-minimum** *integer* **-maximum** *integer* **-outseq** *seqoutall*

**msbar** **-help**

## DESCRIPTION

**msbar** is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Nucleic:Mutation,Protein:Mutation" command group(s).

## OPTIONS

### Input section

- **-sequence** *seqall*

  - **-othersequence** *seqall*

  If you require that the resulting mutated sequence should not match a set of other sequences, then you can specify that set of sequences here. For example, if you require that the mutated sequence should not be the same as the input sequence, enter the input sequence here. If you want the result to be different to previous results of this program, specify the previous result sequences here. The program will check that the result does not match the sequences specified here before writing it out. If a match is found, then the mutation is started again with a fresh copy of the input sequence. If, after 10 such retries, there is still a match to the set of sequence given here, then the matching mutated sequence is written with a warning message. Default value: asis:N

### Required section

- **-count** *integer*

  Default value: 1

- **-point** *list*

  - **-block** *list*

  - **-codon** *list*

  Types of codon mutations to perform. These are only done if the sequence is nucleic.

### Additional section

- **-inframe** *boolean*

  Default value: N

### Advanced section

- **-minimum** *integer*

  Default value: 1

- **-maximum** *integer*

  Default value: 10

### Output section

- **-outseq** *seqoutall*
