# seqwords(1e)

Generates DHF files from keyword search of UniProt.

## NAME

seqwords - Generates DHF files from keyword search of UniProt.

## SYNOPSIS

**seqwords** **-keyfile** *infile* **-spfile** *infile* **-outfile** *outfile*

**seqwords** **-help**

## DESCRIPTION

**seqwords** is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Protein:3D Structure" command group(s).

## OPTIONS

### Input section

- **-keyfile** *infile*

  This option specifies the name of keywords file (input). This contains a list of keywords specific to a number of SCOP or CATH families and superfamilies used by SEQWORDS to search a sequence database.

- **-spfile** *infile*

  This option specifies the name of the sequence database (input) to search.

### Output section

- **-outfile** *outfile*

  This option specifies the name of the DHF file (domain hits file) (output). A 'domain hits file' contains database hits (sequences) with domain classification information, in the DHF format (FASTA-like). The hits are relatives to a SCOP or CATH family (or other node in the structural hierarchies) and are found from a search of a sequence database. Files containing hits retrieved by PSIBLAST are generated by using SEQSEARCH, hits retrieved by a sparse protein signatare by using SIGSCAN or various types of HMM and profile by using LIBSCAN. Default value: test.hits
