Function

   Find restriction sites to insert (mutate) with no translation change

Description

   silent finds restriction enzyme sites in a nucleotide sequence which
   can be inserted (mutated) without changing the translation. silent
   scans a nucleotide sequence for restriction sites for a supplied set
   of restriction enzymes. It writes a standard EMBOSS report of single
   base positions which, when mutated, insert the restriction site whilst
   maintaining the same translation in frame 1 of the input sequence. One
   or more restriction enzymes can be specified or alternatively all the
   enzymes in the REBASE database can be investigated. Optionally, all
   possible mutations are shown and the untranslated and translated
   sequence are reported.

Data files

   EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in
   the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS
   environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.

   To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:

% embossdata -showall

   To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your
   current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:

% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat

   Users can provide their own data files in their own directories.
   Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for
   tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
   Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or
   again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".

   The directories are searched in the following order:
     * . (your current directory)
     * .embossdata (under your current directory)
     * ~/ (your home directory)
     * ~/.embossdata

   The EMBOSS REBASE restriction enzyme data files are stored in
   directory 'data/REBASE/*' under the EMBOSS installation directory.

   These files must first be set up using the program 'rebaseextract'.
   Running 'rebaseextract' may be the job of your system manager.

   The data files are stored in the REBASE directory of the standard
   EMBOSS data directory. The names are:
     * embossre.enz Cleavage information
     * embossre.ref Reference/methylation information
     * embossre.sup Supplier information

   The column information is described at the top of the data files

   The reported enzyme from any one group of isoschizomers (the
   prototype) is specified in the REBASE database and the information is
   held in the data file 'embossre.equ'. You may edit this file to set
   your own preferred prototype, if you wish.

   The format of the file "embossre.equ" is
   Enzyme-name Prototype-name

   i.e. two columns of enzyme names separated by a space. The first name
   of the pair of enzymes is the name that is not preferred and the
   second is the preferred (prototype) name.

Notes

   None.

References

   None.

Warnings

   recoder uses the EMBOSS REBASE restriction enzyme data files stored in
   directory data/REBASE/* under the EMBOSS installation directory. These
   files must first be set up using the program rebaseextract. Running
   rebaseextract may be the job of your system manager.

Diagnostic Error Messages

   None.

Exit status

   It always exits with status 0.

Known bugs

   None.

   silent does the opposite to recode. silent finds sites where a
   restriction enzyme site can be introduced without changing the
   translation in frame 1 of the sequence. recode finds sites where a
   restriction enzyme site can be removed without changing the
   translation in frame 1 of the sequence.
