                                palindrome 



Function

   Looks for inverted repeats in a nucleotide sequence

Description

   palindrome looks for inverted repeats (stem loops) in a nucleotide
   sequence.

   It will find inverted repeats that include a proportion of mismatches
   and gaps (bulges in the stem loop).

   It works by finding all possible inverted matches satisfying the
   specified conditions of minimum and maximum length of palindrome,
   maximum gap between repeated regions and number of mismatches allowed.

   Secondary structures like inverted repeats in genomic sequences may be
   implicated in initiation of DNA replication.

   Some genomic sequence entries in the databases are composed of
   unfinished, draft sequence with gaps of unknown size between contigs.
   The positions of these gaps are often indicated by runs of 200 N
   characters. To prevent palindrome producing large, uninformative
   outputs, any palindromes found that are composed only of N's will not
   be reported.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with palindrome


% palindrome 
Looks for inverted repeats in a nucleotide sequence
Input nucleotide sequence(s): tembl:hsts1
Enter minimum length of palindrome [10]: 15
Enter maximum length of palindrome [100]: 
Enter maximum gap between repeated regions [100]: 
Number of mismatches allowed [0]: 
Output file [hsts1.pal]: 
Report overlapping matches [Y]:

Notes

   Unless the qualifier '-nooverlap' is specified, palindrome makes no
   attempt to exclude subsets of previously found palindromes.

   Several examples can be seen in the sample output above.
