Underline sequence patterns
This dialog is used to underline all occurrences of sequence
patterns.
The search patterns are entered into the table.
Several search patterns can be entered in one single table row and must be separated
by white space.
All matches are underlined. The highlights have a context menu.
The search string may be a simple string of letters or a complex ion.
Syntax:
- "FSP" is a simple search string identifying all
occurrences of "FSP" in the amino acid sequence.
- A dot matches any letter. For example "F.P" would match F followed by any letter followed by P.
- Vertical bars separate alternatives. "IFSP|TFSP" is equivalent to "[IT]FSP" or "(IF|TF)SP" or "IFSP TFSP".
- "(.....)\1" selects all penta repeats. A backslash-number is a
reference to a parenthesized group.
- Square brackets enclose groups of letters at one single
sequence position. "[FYW][FYW]" selects adjacent aromatic amino
acids.
- "[ke]{3,99}"highlights all occurrences of 3 to 99 continuous
positions containing either Lys or Glu.
