Function

   Finds tandem repeats

Description

   equicktandem scans a sequence for potential tandem repeats up to a
   specified size. The results can be used to run etandem on the
   candidate repeat lengths to identify genuine tandem repeats.

   equicktandem is a simple program that looks for segments in which each
   base tends to match the base 'repeatsize' back, i.e. with an
   autocorrelation peak at 'repeatsize'. This can allow drift in the
   repeating sequence, i.e. it does not look for a consensus sequence for
   the whole repeat block (that is what etandem does). But it is much
   quicker than etandem. It does not account for gaps.

   The score is +1 for a match to the corresponding base 'repeatsize'
   back and -1 for a mismatch.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with equicktandem

   The input sequence is the human herpesvirus tandem repeat.

Output file format

   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, trace, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, excel,
   feattable, motif, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq

   See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/ReportFormats.html for further
   information on report formats.

   By default equicktandem writes a 'table' report file.

   einverted    Finds DNA inverted repeats
   etandem      Looks for tandem repeats in a nucleotide sequence
   palindrome   Looks for inverted repeats in a nucleotide sequence

   equicktandem identifies regions wich are likely to contain tanden
   repeats. tandem should then be run on those regions to confirm them
   and to get an accurate specification of the repeats. tandem runs
   slowly.
