Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
Dan calculates the melting temperature (Tm) and the percentage of G+C nucleotides for windows over a nucleic acid sequence, optionally plotting them. If a plot is not being produced, dan reports the sequence of each oligomer window, its melting temperature under the specified conditions and its percentage GC content. The change in enthalpy (H), entropy (S) and Gibbs free energy (S) for dissociation of the oligomers may (optionally) be reported to file (but not plotted).
The values of melting point and other thermodynamic properties of the sequence, namely change in enthalpy (H), entropy (S) and Gibbs free energy (S) on dissociation, are calculated for a sequence region (or "window") of a user-specified size (see "-windowsize" option). The window is incrementally moved along the sequence with the properties being calculated at each new position. The user must provide the salt and DNA concentration. Optionally, the percent formamide, percent of mismatches allowed and product length may be specified.
For the melting temperature profile, free energy values calculated from nearest neighbor thermodynamics are used (Breslauer et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83, 3746-3750, Baldino et al. Methods in Enzymol. 168, 761-777, Allawi and SantaLucia (1997), Biochemistry 36:10581-10594).

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').
Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl
Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.
The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.

By default dan writes a 'seqtable' report file.
The output is to the specified graphics device.
The results can be output in one of several formats by using the command-line qualifier -graph xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required device. Support depends on the availability of third-party software packages.
The device names that output to a file are: ps (postscript), cps (colourps), png, gif, pdf, svg, hpgl, hp7470, hp7580, das, data.
The other available device names are: meta, x11 (xwindows), tek (tek4107t), tekt (tektronix), xterm, text.
Output can be turned off by specifying none (null).

The header information contains details of the program, date and sequence
Subsequent lines contain columns of data for each window into the sequence as it is moved along, giving:
If the qualifier '-product' is used to make the program prompt for percent formamide percent of mismatches allowed and product length, then the output includes the melting temperature of the specified product.
If the qualifier '-thermo' is gived then the DeltaG, DeltaH and DeltaS of the sequence in the window is also output.
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 enthalpy of a reaction equates to the "heat" of the reaction so long as temperate and pressure are constant. Enthalpy depends upon the strength of the chemical bonds and non-bonding interactions involved. The entropy of a reaction reflects the level of disorder or randomness of the molecules involved. The higher the entropy, the greater the disorder. The free energy of a reaction reflects it's ability to do work. It helps one determine whether a reaction is feasible given a set of conditions and it's quilibrium.
