backtranambig |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
backtranambig reads a protein sequence and writes the nucleic acid sequence it could have come from. It does this by using nucleotide ambiguity codes that represent all possible codons for each amino acid.
backtranambig needs a genetic code to generate an ambiguous codon for each amino acid. The default genetic code is the standard ("Universal") code, although many others are available via the '-table' qualifier. The codon usage tables correspdonding to these codes must exist in the EMBOSS data directory. See the section on "Data Files" below for more information.

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 ambiguous nucleotide sequence generated by backtranambig can be translated to the original protein using transeq, which will recognise highly redundant codons (for example "WSN" for serine) as being produced by a program such as backtranambig.
"The file 'drosoph.cut' does not exist" - the codon usage file cannot be opened.
