silent |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
silent finds restriction enzyme sites in a nucleotide sequence which can be inserted (mutated) without changing the translation. silent scans a nucleotide sequence for restriction sites for a supplied set of restriction enzymes. It writes a standard EMBOSS report of single base positions which, when mutated, insert the restriction site whilst maintaining the same translation in frame 1 of the input sequence. One or more restriction enzymes can be specified or alternatively all the enzymes in the REBASE database can be investigated. Optionally, all possible mutations are shown and the untranslated and translated sequence are reported.

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 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 the output is in 'table' format.

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 EMBOSS REBASE restriction enzyme data files are stored in directory 'data/REBASE/*' under the EMBOSS installation directory.
These files must first be set up using the program 'rebaseextract'. Running 'rebaseextract' may be the job of your system manager.
The data files are stored in the REBASE directory of the standard EMBOSS data directory. The names are:
The reported enzyme from any one group of isoschizomers (the prototype) is specified in the REBASE database and the information is held in the data file 'embossre.equ'. You may edit this file to set your own preferred prototype, if you wish.
The format of the file "embossre.equ" is
Enzyme-name Prototype-name
i.e. two columns of enzyme names separated by a space. The first name of the pair of enzymes is the name that is not preferred and the second is the preferred (prototype) name.
recoder uses the EMBOSS REBASE restriction enzyme data files stored in directory data/REBASE/* under the EMBOSS installation directory. These files must first be set up using the program rebaseextract. Running rebaseextract may be the job of your system manager.
Program name | Description |
---|---|
recoder | Find restriction sites to remove (mutate) with no translation change |
redata | Retrieve information from REBASE restriction enzyme database |
remap | Display restriction enzyme binding sites in a nucleotide sequence |
restover | Find restriction enzymes producing a specific overhang |
restrict | Report restriction enzyme cleavage sites in a nucleotide sequence |
showseq | Displays sequences with features in pretty format |
silent does the opposite to recode. silent finds sites where a restriction enzyme site can be introduced without changing the translation in frame 1 of the sequence. recode finds sites where a restriction enzyme site can be removed without changing the translation in frame 1 of the sequence.
