trimseq is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Edit" command group(s).
-sequence seqall
-window integer
This determines the size of the region that is considered when deciding whether the percentage of ambiguity is greater than the threshold. A value of 5 means that a region of 5 letters in the sequence is shifted along the sequence from the ends and trimming is done only if there is a greater or equal percentage of ambiguity than the threshold percentage. Default value: 1
-percent float
This is the threshold of the percentage ambiguity in the window required in order to trim a sequence. Default value: 100.0
-strict boolean
In nucleic sequences, trim off not only N's and X's, but also the nucleotide IUPAC ambiguity codes M, R, W, S, Y, K, V, H, D and B. In protein sequences, trim off not only X's but also B and Z. Default value: N
-star boolean
In protein sequences, trim off not only X's, but also the *'s Default value: N
-left boolean
Default value: Y
-right boolean
Default value: Y
-outseq seqoutall
Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031).
trimseq is fully documented via the tfm(1) system.
