e-PCR(1) Find sequence tagged sites (STS) in DNA sequences

SYNOPSIS

e-PCR [-hV] [posix-options] stsfile [fasta ...] [compat-options]

DESCRIPTION

The program substitutes blast in the location of pairs primers on the genome that may yield a PCR product.

OPTIONS

posix-options are:

-m=##
Margin (default 50)
-w=##
Wordsize (default 7)
-n=##
Max mismatches allowed (default 0)
-g=##
Max indels allowed (default 0)
-f=##
Use ## disontiguous words, slow if ##>1
-o=##
Set output file
-t=##
Set output format:
1 - classic, range (pos1..pos2)
2 - classic, midpoint
3 - tabular
4 - tabular with alignment in comments (slow)
-d=##-##
Set default size range (default 100-350)
-p=+-
Turn hits postprocess on/off
-v=##
Verbosity flags
-a=a|f
Use presize alignments (only if gaps>0), slow
a - Always or f - as Fallback
-x=+-
Use 5'-end lowercase masking of primers (default -)
-u=+-
Uppercase all primers (default -)

compat-options (duplicate posix-options) are

M=##
Margin (default 50)
W=##
Wordsize (default 7)
N=##
Number of mismatches allowed (default 0)
G=##
Max indels allowed (default 0)
F=##
Use ## discontinuous words
O=##
Set output file to ##
T=##
Set output format (1..3)
D=##-##
Set default size range
P=+-
Postprocess hits on/off
V=##
Verbosity flags
A=a|f
Use presize alignments (only if gaps>0), slow
a - Always or f - as Fallback
X=+-
Use 5'-end lowercase masking of primers (default -)
U=+-
Uppercase all primers (default -)
-mid
Same as T=2
