sixpack

 

Function

Display a DNA sequence with 6-frame translation and ORFs

Description

sixpack takes a nucleic acid sequence and writes out the forward and reverse senses of the sequence with the 3 forward and three reverse translations in a pretty display format.

It also writes a file containing the open reading frames that are larger than the specified minimum size (default 1 base, showing all possible open reading frames). These open reading frames are written as protein sequences in the default output sequence format.

An open reading frame is defined in this program as any possible translation between two STOP codons.

Algorithm

The nucleic acid sequence is read in.
The required genetic code is read in from the EGC* data files.
The three forward and three reverse translations are created.
The name and description are written to the ouput display file.
Any required regions to be changed to upper case are changed.
Any required regions to be highlighted in HTML colour tags are changed.
The reverse sense sequence is placed below the forward sequence.
The forward translations are placed above the sequences.
The reverse translation are placed below the sequences.
The display is written out, split at the ends of lines.
Any ORFs that are longer than the specified minimum size are written to the output sequence file.

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers:
   -table              menu       Genetics code used for the translation
   -[no]firstorf       boolean    Count the beginning of a sequence as a
                                  possible ORF, even if it's inferior to the
                                  minimal ORF size.
   -[no]lastorf        boolean    Count the end of a sequence as a possible
                                  ORF, even if it's not finishing with a STOP,
                                  or inferior to the minimal ORF size.
   -mstart             boolean    Displays only ORFs starting with an M.

   Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
   -[no]reverse        boolean    Display also the translation of the DNA
                                  sequence in the 3 reverse frames
   -orfminsize         integer    Minimum size of Open Reading Frames (ORFs)
                                  to display in the translations.
   -uppercase          range      Regions to put in uppercase.
                                  If this is left blank, then the sequence
                                  case is left alone.
                                  A set of regions is specified by a set of
                                  pairs of positions.
                                  The positions are integers.
                                  They are separated by any non-digit,
                                  non-alpha character.
                                  Examples of region specifications are:
                                  24-45, 56-78

                                  If this is left blank, then the sequence is
                                  left alone.
                                  A set of regions is specified by a set of

Data files

EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.

To see the available EMBOSS data files, run: 

% embossdata -showall

To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your current directory for you to inspect or modify, run: 


% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat

Users can provide their own data files in their own directories. Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".

The directories are searched in the following order:

The Genetic Code data files are based on the NCBI genetic code tables. Their names and descriptions are:

EGC.0
Standard (Differs from GC.1 in that it only has initiation site 'AUG')
EGC.1
Standard
EGC.2
Vertebrate Mitochodrial
EGC.3
Yeast Mitochondrial
EGC.4
Mold, Protozoan, Coelenterate Mitochondrial and Mycoplasma/Spiroplasma
EGC.5
Invertebrate Mitochondrial
EGC.6
Ciliate Macronuclear and Dasycladacean
EGC.9
Echinoderm Mitochondrial
EGC.10
Euplotid Nuclear
EGC.11
Bacterial
EGC.12
Alternative Yeast Nuclear
EGC.13
Ascidian Mitochondrial
EGC.14
Flatworm Mitochondrial
EGC.15
Blepharisma Macronuclear
EGC.16
Chlorophycean Mitochondrial
EGC.21
Trematode Mitochondrial
EGC.22
Scenedesmus obliquus
EGC.23
Thraustochytrium Mitochondrial

The format of these files is very simple.

It consists of several lines of optional comments, each starting with a '#' character.

These are followed the line: 'Genetic Code [n]', where 'n' is the number of the genetic code file.

This is followed by the description of the code and then by four lines giving the IUPAC one-letter code of the translated amino acid, the start codons (indicdated by an 'M') and the three bases of the codon, lined up one on top of the other.

For example:

#
# Differs from Genetic Code [1] only in that the initiation sites have been
# changed to only 'AUG'
