"Motif search" command

    The window "Motif search" serves to search of motifs in a sequence. Sequences of motifs are set in the 15-letter alphabet. In heading after a mark "#" the dropping down list serves for a choice of a sequence in which there will be a search is located.
  • The field "from" serves for definition of number of a position with which search begins.
  • The field "to" serves for definition of number of a position on which search comes to an end.
  • The field "length" serves for definition of length of area of search.
  • The dropping down list "chain" serves for a choice of a direction of search:
    • (+/-) - search in a direct and reverse chains.
    • (+) - search in a direct chain.
    • (-) - search in a reverse chain.
  • The field "motif" serves to input of a sequence of motif in the 15-letter alphabet. The given field is obligatory for filling.
  • The field "mismatch" serves for set allowable quantity of discrepancies by search. If the field is not filled, to parameter value 0 automatically is appropriated. Restrictions on quantity of discrepancies: no more than half of length of motif, and also no more than 1000.
  • The field "Command summary" displays the current adjustments of a command (the chosen parameters). The given field is only information and does not serve for adjustment of parameters of command.

    Notes.
  • Parameters "from", "to" and "length" are connected among themselves. Simultaneously can be given no more than two parameters. At recalculation of parameters there is a check that values of parameters do not contradict each other and are intelligent.
  • If parameters "from", "to" and "length" are not given, to parameter "from" value "BEGIN" is appropriated (the beginning of a sequence), to parameter "To" is appropriated value "END" (the end of a sequence).
  • If the parameter "length" is given only, to parameter "to" value "BEGIN" is appropriated (the beginning of a sequence), to parameter "to" value of parameter "length" is appropriated.
  • If the parameter "to" is given only, to parameter "from" value "BEGIN" (the beginning of a sequence) is appropriated.
  • If the parameter "from" is given only, to parameter "to" value "END" (the end of a sequence) is appropriated.
  • If parameters "from" and "length" are given, value "to" is calculated in view of the specified values (to=from length-1).
  • If parameters "to" and "length" are given, value "from" is calculated in view of the specified values (from=to-lenhgth+1).
