compseq |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
compseq calculates the composition of words of a specified length (dimer, trimer etc) in the input sequence(s). The word length is user-specified. The unique sequences (words), their observed count, observed frequency, expected frequency and (observed / expected) frequency are written to the output file. The (observed / expected) frequency highlights any words with unusually high (or low) occurence in the input sequences.
By default, compseq makes the (false) assumption that each word is equally likely. The expected frequency therefore of any dimer is 1/16 - this is simply the inverse of the number of possible dimers (AA, AC, AG, AT, CA, CC, CG, CT, GA, GC, GG, GT, TA, TC, TG, TT). Similarly, the expected frequency of any trimer is 1/64, etc. Clearly this is not the case in real sequences where there will be bias in favour of some monomers and words. There are ways around this (see "Notes").
The normal behaviour of compseq is to count the frequencies of all words that occur by moving a window of length 'word' up by one each time. The '-frame' option allows you to move the window up by the length of the word each time, skipping over the intervening words. You can count only those words that occur in a single frame of the word by setting this value to a number other than zero. If you set it to 1 it will only count the words in frame 1, 2 will only count the words in frame 2 and so on.
To count the frequencies of dinucleotides in a file:
% compseq tembl:x65923 -word 2 result3.comp Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences |
Go to the input files for this example
Go to the output files for this example
Example 2
To count the frequencies of hexanucleotides, without outputting the results of hexanucleotides that do not occur in the sequence:
% compseq tembl:x65923 -word 6 result6.comp -nozero Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences |
Go to the output files for this example
Example 3
To count the frequencies of trinucleotides in frame 2 of a sequence and use a previously prepared compseq output to show the expected frequencies:
% compseq tembl:x65923 -word 3 result3.comp -frame 2 -in prev.comp Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences |

Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0
Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
[-sequence] seqall Sequence(s) filename and optional format, or
reference (input USA)
-word integer [2] This is the size of word (n-mer) to
count.
Thus if you want to count codon frequencies
for a nucleotide sequence, you should enter
3 here. (Integer 1 or more)
[-outfile] outfile [*.compseq] This is the results file.
Additional (Optional) qualifiers (* if not always prompted):
-infile infile This is a file previously produced by
'compseq' that can be used to set the
expected frequencies of words in this
analysis.
The word size in the current run must be the
same as the one in this results file.
Obviously, you should use a file produced
from protein sequences if you are counting
protein sequence word frequencies, and you
must use one made from nucleotide
frequencies if you are analysing a
nucleotide sequence.
-frame integer [0] The normal behaviour of 'compseq' is to
count the frequencies of all words that
occur by moving a window of length 'word' up
by one each time.
This option allows you to move the window up
by the length of the word each time,
skipping over the intervening words.
You can count only those words that occur in
a single frame of the word by setting this
value to a number other than zero.
If you set it to 1 it will only count the
words in frame 1, 2 will only count the
words in frame 2 and so on. (Integer 0 or
more)
* -[no]ignorebz boolean [Y] The amino acid code B represents
Asparagine or Aspartic acid and the code Z
represents Glutamine or Glutamic acid.
These are not commonly used codes and you
may wish not to count words containing them,
just noting them in the count of 'Other'
words.
* -reverse boolean [N] Set this to be true if you also wish to
also count words in the reverse complement
of a nucleic sequence.
-calcfreq boolean [N] If this is set true then the expected
frequencies of words are calculated from the
observed frequency of single bases or
residues in the sequences.
If you are reporting a word size of 1
(single bases or residues) then there is no
point in using this option because the
calculated expected frequency will be equal
to the observed frequency.
Calculating the expected frequencies like
this will give an approximation of the
expected frequencies that you might get by
using an input file of frequencies produced
by a previous run of this program. If an
input file of expected word frequencies has
been specified then the values from that
file will be used instead of this
calculation of expected frequency from the
sequence, even if 'calcfreq' is set to be
true.
-[no]zerocount boolean [Y] You can make the output results file
much smaller if you do not display the words
with a zero count.

An optional second input file is the output from a previous compseq run used to set the expected word frequencies.
The optional second input data file format is exactly the same as the output file format.
It expects to read in a previous output file of this program. An error is produced if the word size of the current compseq job and that of the output file being read in are different.

Header information and comments are preceeded by a '#' character at the start of the line.
The Word size and the Total count are then given on separate lines,
The headers of the columns of results are preceeded by a '#'
The results columns are: the sub-sequence word, the observed frequency, the expected frequency (which will be read from the input file if one is given, else it is a simple inverse of the number of words of the size specified that can be constructed), the ratio of the observed to expected frequency.
After a blank line at the end, the results of 'Other' words is given - this is the number of words with a sequence which has IUPAC ambiguity codes or other unusual characters in.

The maximum word size is limited to 4 for proteins, and 6 for nucleotide sequences.
Large word sizes are not appropriate for the compseq algorithm. All possible words will be stored and reported. The algorithm is designed to generate useful information for word sizes expected to occur at least once in the input sequence.
The results are held in an array in memory before being written to a file. For large values of wordsize (over about 7 for nucleic, 5 for protein), you may run out of memory or generate a very large output file.
There is no way for compseq to guess what the true expected frequency should be for each word. It can however read in the result of a previous compseq analysis and use this to set the expected frequencies of the subsequences. In this case, the input sequences under investigation should be representative of those used for the previous compseq analysis. It is down to your biological expertise to ensure the sequences are genuinely "representative", for instance, you might select a group of sequences belonging to the same taxonomic rank such as genus or species.
The file of expected frequencies is specified by name with the -infile qualifier. The word size in the current run must be the same as the one in this results file. Obviously, you should use a file produced from protein sequences if you are counting protein sequence word frequencies, and you must use one made from nucleotide frequencies if you are analysing a nucleotide sequence.
As an alternative to using -infile, the expected frequencies of words may be calculated from the observed frequency of single bases or residues in the sequences. To do this, specify the -calcfreq qualifier. If you are reporting a word size of 1 (single bases or residues) then there is no point in using this option because the calculated expected frequency will be equal to the observed frequency.
Calculating the expected frequencies like this will give an approximation of the expected frequencies that you might get by using an input file of frequencies produced by a previous run of this program. If an input file of expected word frequencies has been specified then the values from that file will be used instead of this calculation of expected frequency from the sequence, even if 'calcfreq' is set to be true.
If you run out of memory, you may see the program crash with a generic error message that will be specific to your machine's operating system, but will probably be a warning about writing to memory that the program does not own (eg "Segmentation fault" on a Solaris machine)
This is not a bug, it is a feature of the way this program grabs large amounts of memory. The maximum word size is restricted to avoid this problem.
