Function Scans DNA sequences for transcription factors Description jaspscan scans one or more DNA sequences for transcription factor binding sites from the JASPAR database. Matches are searched for using fast sequence word-matching, optionally allowing mismatches. Because the binding sites are so small, there will be many spurious (false positive) matches. An output file is written with information on the matches, including sequence ID and accession number, the start and end positions of the match in an input sequence and the sequence of the region where a match has been found. Binding factor information, where available, is given at the end of the matches for each matching entry. Usage Here is a sample session with jaspscan % jaspscan -both Scans DNA sequences for transcription factors Input nucleotide sequence(s): tembl:m23100 Jaspar matrix set C : Core F : Fam P : Phylofacts N : CNE O : POLII S : SPLICE B : PBM L : PBM_HLH H : PBM_HOMEO Matrix set [C]: Comma separated matrix list [all]: ma0079.1 Threshold percentage [80.0]: Output report [m23100.jaspscan]: Go to the input files for this example Go to the output files for this example Command line arguments Scans DNA sequences for transcription factors Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0 Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-sequence] seqall Nucleotide sequence(s) filename and optional format, or reference (input USA) -menu menu [C] Matrix set (Values: C (Core); F (Fam); P (Phylofacts); N (CNE); O (POLII); S (SPLICE); B (PBM); L (PBM_HLH); H (PBM_HOMEO)) -matrices string [all] The name 'all' reads in all matrix files from the selected JASPAR matrix set. You can specify individual matrices by giving their names with commas between then, such as: 'ma0001.1,ma0015*'. The case of the names is not important. You can specify a file of matrix names to read in by giving the name of the file holding the matrix names with a '@' character in front of it, for example, '@matrix.list'. Blank lines and lines starting with a hash character or '!' are ignored and all other lines are concatenated together with a comma character ',' and then treated as the list of enzymes to search for. An example of a file of matrix names is: ! my matrices ma0001.1, ma0002.1 ! other matrices ma0010.1 ma0032* ma0053.1 (Any string) -threshold float [80.0] If the matrix score is greater than or equal to this percentage then a hit will be reported (Any numeric value) [-outfile] report [*.jaspscan] Output report file name (default -rformat seqtable) Additional (Optional) qualifiers: -exclude string The names of any matrices to exclude from the 'matrices' list. Matrices are specified in the same way as for the selection list. (Any string) -both boolean [N] If set then both the forward and reverse strands are searched Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers: (none) Associated qualifiers: "-sequence" associated qualifiers -sbegin1 integer Start of each sequence to be used -send1 integer End of each sequence to be used -sreverse1 boolean Reverse (if DNA) -sask1 boolean Ask for begin/end/reverse -snucleotide1 boolean Sequence is nucleotide -sprotein1 boolean Sequence is protein -slower1 boolean Make lower case -supper1 boolean Make upper case -sformat1 string Input sequence format -sdbname1 string Database name -sid1 string Entryname -ufo1 string UFO features -fformat1 string Features format -fopenfile1 string Features file name "-outfile" associated qualifiers -rformat2 string Report format -rname2 string Base file name -rextension2 string File name extension -rdirectory2 string Output directory -raccshow2 boolean Show accession number in the report -rdesshow2 boolean Show description in the report -rscoreshow2 boolean Show the score in the report -rstrandshow2 boolean Show the nucleotide strand in the report -rusashow2 boolean Show the full USA in the report -rmaxall2 integer Maximum total hits to report -rmaxseq2 integer Maximum hits to report for one sequence General qualifiers: -auto boolean Turn off prompts -stdout boolean Write first file to standard output -filter boolean Read first file from standard input, write first file to standard output -options boolean Prompt for standard and additional values -debug boolean Write debug output to program.dbg -verbose boolean Report some/full command line options -help boolean Report command line options and exit. More information on associated and general qualifiers can be found with -help -verbose -warning boolean Report warnings -error boolean Report errors -fatal boolean Report fatal errors -die boolean Report dying program messages -version boolean Report version number and exit Input file format jaspscan reads one or more nucleotide sequences. 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.

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: * . (your current directory) * .embossdata (under your current directory) * ~/ (your home directory) * ~/.embossdata The EMBOSS JASPAR transcription site files are stored in directory 'data/JASPAR/*' under the EMBOSS installation directory. These files must first be set up using the program 'jaspextract'. Running 'jaspextract' may be the job of your system manager. The data files are stored in the JASPAR directory of the standard EMBOSS data directory. The subdirectory names are: * JASPAR_CORE Core files * JASPAR_FAM Family files * JASPAR_PHYLOFACT Phylogeny files The column information is described on the JASPAR home page http://jaspar.genereg.net/ Notes None.
