gendb
Usage: gendb [options] <numseqs>
Description:
gendb generates the specified number of sequences
using a Markov model. The sequence lengths are selected
uniformly at random within the range specified
by --minseq and --maxseq.
Input:
- None
Output:
- Writes the sequences in FASTA format to
stdout.
Options:
--seed <n>- Seed for random number generator.--minseq <n>- Minimum sequence length. Default value: 50.--maxseq <n>- Maximum sequence length. Default value: 2000.--order <n>- Use Markov model of order<n>. Default value: the order of the background model if one is provided, otherwise 0.--dummy- Print a "dummy" sequence record before the generated sequences. The "dummy" sequence record is a a FASTA header line listing thegendbparameters but not followed by any sequence lines.--type [0|1|2|3|4]- The type of sequence to generate. Allowed types are:- 0 = protein (default)
- 1 = DNA
- 2 = codons
- 3 = DNA without ambiguous characters
- 4 = protein without ambigouous characters
Bugs: None known.
