Description MASKSEQ application details page

Mask off regions of a sequence

This simple editing program allows you to mask off regions of asequence with a specified letter.

Why would you wish to do this? It is common for databasesearches to mask out low-complexity or biased compositionregions of a sequence so that spurious matches do not occur.It is just possible that you have a program that has reportedsuch biased regions but which has not masked the sequenceitself. In that case, you can use this program to do themasking.

You may find other uses for it.
