MASKFEAT : Mask off features of a sequence. (EMBOSS)
Some explanations about the options
input Section- enter either the name of a file or the actual data
- if you are using Netscape 2.x or later, you can select a file by typing its name, or better, by selecting it with the Netscape file browser (Browse button)
- OR you can type your data in the next area, or cut and paste it from another application.
- (but not both)
advanced Section- Type of feature to mask (-type)
- By default any feature in the feature table with a type starting 'repeat' is masked. You can set this to be any feature type you wish to mask.
See http://www3.ebi.ac.uk/Services/WebFeat/ for a list of the EMBL feature types and see Appendix A of the Swissprot user manual in http://www.expasy.ch/txt/userman.txt for a list of the Swissprot feature types.
The type may be wildcarded by using '*'.
If you wish to mask more than one type, separate their names with spaces or commas, eg:
*UTR repeat*
output Section- Character to mask with (-maskchar)
- Character to use when masking.
Default is 'X' for protein sequences, 'N' for nucleic sequences.- Sequence format
- The sequence will be automatically converted in the format needed for the program
- providing you enter a sequence either:
- in plain (raw) sequence format or in one of the following known formats:
- IG,GenBank,NBRF,EMBL,GCG,DNAStrider,Fitch,fasta,Phylip,PIR,MSF,ASN,PAUP,CLUSTALW
- You may enter in the text area a database entry code, or an accession number, in this form:
database:entry_name
or:database:accession.- enter either the name of a file or the actual data
