Function

Mutate sequence beyond all recognition

Description

This program changes a sequence a lot or a little, attempting to emulate various forms of mutation. You can set the number and types of mutations.

It can act on the following sizes of sequence:

If the sequence is nucleic, the codon and block-sized operations can optionally be done in-frame. This causes the minimum block size to be set to 3 and the randomly chosen positions to be multiples of 3.

For each of the above size of sequence it can produce the effects of any of the following types of mutation at a randomly chosen position:

The input and output sequences may not differ if only a few changes are chosen as (for example) one in four nucleic acid point substitutions will not change the sequence.

N.B. There is no selection of the types of mutation to produce viable sequence as there would be in a real organism. In particular, there is no attempt to bias mutations of nucleic acid sequences to conform to the C+G ratio in the sequence or to bias the codons in the direction of the frequencies used in the organism. This program emulates mutation, not selection.

This program was named from the acronym of "Mutate Sequence Beyond All Recognition", by analogy with the acronym "fubar" commonly used in the US and UK armed forces.

Usage

Here is a sample session with msbar

This asks for 5 mutations, with point mutations as changes (substitutions), and the codon and block mutations ignored.

Command line arguments

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers (* if not always prompted):
  [-sequence]          seqall     Sequence database USA
   -count              integer    Number of times to perform the mutation
                                  operations
   -point              menu       Types of point mutations to perform
   -block              menu       Types of block mutations to perform
*  -codon              menu       Types of codon mutations to perform. These
                                  are only done if the sequence is nucleic.
  [-outseq]            seqoutall  Output sequence(s) USA

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers (* if not always prompted):
*  -inframe            boolean    Do 'codon' and 'block' operations in frame

   Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
   -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.
