ReadSeq

Overview

ReadSeq reads and reformats biosequences.

Setup

There is no setup needed for this software package.

Usage

ReadSeq is a Java application and as such needs to be run with the java command. The general syntax is:

java -cp /usr/global/readseq/readseq.jar run [options] input-file(s)

Examples

The following is an example PBS script to run a ReadSeq job on LION-XE for a maximum of 2 hours. It reads a FASTA-formatted input file input.fa in the directory /home/foo/readseq and creates an XML-formatted output file output.xml.

#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1
#PBS -l walltime=2:00:00
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -q lionxe-serial

# change the current working directory to the directory where
# the input file can be found
cd /home/foo/readseq

# run the ReadSeq command
java -cp /usr/global/readseq/readseq.jar run -f=xml -o=output.xml input.fa

Further information on PBS scripts and submitting jobs on the LION-XE cluster can be found in the User Guides section of the HPC website.
