revseq

Function

Reverse and complement a sequence

Description

This takes a sequence and outputs the reverse complement (also known as the anti-sense or reverse sense) sequence.

It can also output just the reversed sequence or just the complement of the sequence.

Usage

Here is a sample session with revseq

To create the reverse complement (reverse sense) of 'tembl:hsfau' in the file 'hsfau.rev':


% revseq tembl:hsfau hsfau.rev 
Reverse and complement a sequence

Go to the input files for this example
Go to the output files for this example

Example 2

To create the complement of 'tembl:hsfau' in the file 'hsfau.rev':


% revseq tembl:hsfau hsfau.rev -norev 
Reverse and complement a sequence

Go to the output files for this example

Example 3

To create the reverse of 'tembl:hsfau' in the file 'hsfau.rev':


% revseq tembl:hsfau hsfau.rev -nocomp 
Reverse and complement a sequence
