extractseq |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
extractseq reads a sequence and writes sub-sequences from it to file. The set of regions to extract is specified on the command-line or in a file as pairs of start and end positions. The regions are written in the order in which they are specified. Thus, if the sequence AAAGGGTTT has been input and the regions: 7-9, 3-4 have been specified, then the output sequence will be: TTTAG. Optionally, each region may be written out as a separate sequence.
Extract the region from position 10 to 20:
% extractseq tembl:x65923 result.seq -regions "10-20" Extract regions from a sequence |

Extract regions from a sequence
Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0
Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
[-sequence] sequence Sequence filename and optional format, or
reference (input USA)
-regions range [Whole sequence] Regions to extract.
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
1:45, 67=99;765..888
1,5,8,10,23,45,57,99

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.

You can specify a file of ranges to extract by giving the '-regions' qualifier the value '@' followed by the name of the file containing the ranges. (eg: '-regions @myfile').
The format of the range file is:
An example range file is:
# this is my set of ranges 12 23 4 5 this is like 12-23, but smaller 67 10348 interesting region
The output is a standard EMBOSS sequence file.
The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -osformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: embl, genbank, gff, pir, swiss, dasgff, debug, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, excel, feattable, motif, nametable, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq.
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.
>X65923 X65923.1 H.sapiens fau mRNA ctcgactccat |
>X65921 X65921.1 H.sapiens fau 1 gene tccctctcgatacactcgggacaagttagggc |
If the option -separate is used then each specified region is written to the output file as a separate sequence. The name of the sequence is created from the name of the original sequence with the start and end positions of the range appended with underscore characters between them,
For example: "XYZ region 2 to 34" is written as: "XYZ_2_34"
extractseq allows you to specify one or more regions of a sequence to extract sub-sequences from to build up a contiguous output sequence. This is modelled on the cell's process of splicing out exons from mRNA, but the program is generally applicable to any cutting and splicing or editing operation on a single sequence.
Where the -regions option is used to specify output as separate sequences, the name of the sequence is created from the name of the original sequence with the start and end positions of the range appended with underscore characters between them, eg: XYZ region 2 to 34 is written as: XYZ_2_34. In such cases the output sequence format must be capable of supporting multiple sequences.
