Binary package “ncbi-seg” in ubuntu oracular
tool to mask segments of low compositional complexity in amino acid sequences
ncbi-seg (a.k.a. SEG) is a program for identifying and masking segments of
low compositional complexity in amino acid sequences.
.
ncbi-seg divides sequences into contrasting segments of low-complexity and
high-complexity. Low-complexity segments defined by the
algorithm represent "simple sequences" or "compositionall
.
This program is inappropriate for masking nucleotide sequences and, in fact,
may strip some nucleotide ambiguity codes from nt. sequences as they are being
read.
