Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
fuzznuc searches for a specified PROSITE-style pattern in nucleotide sequences. Such patterns are specifications of a (typically short) length of sequence to be found. They can specify a search for an exact sequence or they can allow various ambiguities, matches to variable lengths of sequence and repeated subsections of the sequence. One or more nucleotide sequences are read from file. The output is a standard EMBOSS report file that includes data such as location and score of any matches.
fuzznuc intelligently selects the optimum searching algorithm to use, depending on the complexity of the search pattern specified.

Search for patterns in nucleotide sequences Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0 Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-sequence] seqall Nucleotide sequence(s) filename and optional format, or reference (input USA) -pattern pattern The standard IUPAC one-letter codes for the nucleotides are used. The symbol 'n' is used for a position where any nucleotide is accepted. Ambiguities are indicated by listing the acceptable nucleotides for a given position, between square parentheses '[ ]'. For example: [ACG] stands for A or C or G. Ambiguities are also indicated by listing between a pair of curly brackets '{ }' the nucleotides that are not accepted at a given position. For example: {AG} stands for any nucleotides except A and G. Each element in a pattern is separated from its neighbor by a '-'. (Optional in fuzznuc). Repetition of an element of the pattern can be indicated by following that element with a numerical value or a numerical range between parenthesis. Examples: N(3) corresponds to N-N-N, N(2,4) corresponds to N-N or N-N-N or N-N-N-N. When a pattern is restricted to either the 5' or 3' end of a sequence, that pattern either starts with a '<' symbol or respectively ends with a '>' symbol. A period ends the pattern.

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.
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.

The PROSITE pattern definition from the PROSITE documentation (amended to refer to nucleic acid sequences, not proteins) follows.
For example, in the EMBL entry J01636 you can look for the pattern:
[CG](5)TG{A}N(1,5)C
This searches for "C or G" 5 times, followed by T and G, then anything except A, then any base (1 to 5 times) before a C.
You can use ambiguity codes for nucleic acid searches but not within [] or {} as they expand to bracketed counterparts. For example, "s" is expanded to "[GC]" therefore [S] would be expanded to [[GC]] which is illegal.
Note the use of X is reserved for proteins. You must use N for nucleic acids to refer to any base.
The search is case-independent, so 'AAA' matches 'aaa'.
The output is a standard EMBOSS report file.
The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -rformat 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, draw, restrict, excel, feattable, motif, nametable, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq.
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/ReportFormats.html for further information on report formats.
By default fuzznuc writes a 'seqtable' report file.
