NAME

GD_Reverse_Translate.pl

VERSION

Version 5.56

DESCRIPTION

Given at least one protein sequence as input, the Reverse_Translate script
generates synonymous nucleotide sequences using either a user-defined RSCU
table or an RSCU table provided by GeneDesign

If no algorithm is specified, the balanced algorithm will be used. These are
the algorithms provided by default with GeneDesign; you can make your own; see
developer docs.

Output will be named according to the name of the input file, and will be
tagged with the suffix _RT.

Algorithms:
  high: The high algorithm replaces every codon in the input sequence with
      the most translationally optimal codon as specified by the input RSCU
      tables or known RSCU tables (if organism is specified). If the codon is
      already the ideal codon it is left alone.
  balanced: The balanced algorithm uses the rscu data to determine a
       likelihood of codon replacement.

USAGE

-r OR -o must be provided. If both are given the table will be treated as
    another organism, named after the table's filename.

ARGUMENTS

Required arguments:

-i,   --input : a file containing protein sequences.
-org, --organism : an organism whose RSCU table can be found in the config
  directory, or several separated by commas
AND/OR
-r,   --rscu : path to an RSCU table generated by GD_Generate_RSCU_Table.pl,
  or several separated by commas
-r OR -o must be provided. If both are given the table will be treated as
    another organism, named after the table's filename.

Optional arguments:

-a,   --algorithm : protocol for replacing peptides; defaults to "balanced"
-out, --output : path to an output directory; defaults to GeneDesign's default
-f,   --format : default genbank
-s,   --split : output all sequences as separate files
-h,   --help : Display this message
