Function

Extract data from JASPAR

Description

JASPAR is a collection of transcription factor DNA-binding preferences, modelled as matrices. These can be converted into Position Weight Matrices (PWMs or PSSMs), used for scanning genomic sequences.

JASPAR is the only database with this scope where the data can be used with no restrictions (open-source).

This program copies the JASPAR distribution into its component matrix sets (e.g. JASPAR_CORE, JASPAR_PHYLOFACTS etc) and copies them into the EMBOSS data directories, performing any necessary conversions

The home page of JASPAR is: http://jaspar.genereg.net/

The EMBOSS program jaspscan will not work unless this program is run.

Running this program may be the job of your system manager.

Input file format

The input files are part of the uncompressed and extracted Archive.zip file provided in the JASPAR html/DOWNLOAD directory of the JASPAR homepage (http://jaspar.genereg.net). After extracting the file you should specify the all_data/FlatFileDir directory when running jasparextract. It is advisable to first delete any old data files from your EMBOSS data file area e.g. from the /usr/local/emboss/share/EMBOSS/data/JASPAR_* directories

Output file format

The output file format is currently the same as the JASPAR distribution format, but with the matrix files separated into directories according to their type.

Output files for usage example

Directory: JASPAR_CNE

This directory contains output files.

Directory: JASPAR_CORE

This directory contains output files, for example MA0070.1.pfm MA0071.1.pfm MA0072.1.pfm MA0073.1.pfm MA0074.1.pfm MA0075.1.pfm MA0076.1.pfm MA0077.1.pfm MA0078.1.pfm MA0079.1.pfm and matrix_list.txt.
