seq.complement:
Build the complementary sequence of a given DNA sequence



Function:


This program builds the complementary sequence of a DNA-sequence. This DNA-sequence should be given in one of the formats accepted by R'MES: a conventional format or the GenBank format.

Usage:


seq.complement  -seq DNA-sequence-file
                 [-eng[lish]]

Options:

-seq:
This option introduces the name of the input DNA-sequence file.
-eng[lish]
When set, the messages are in english.
By default, they are in french.

Output:


The standard output unit contains the complementary sequence of the given one in the conventional format.
The complementary bases of 'A', 'G', 'C', 'T' are 'G', 'A', 'T', 'C' respectively. The others letters are unchanged.

Exemple:

seq.complement -seq lambda -english > lambda.complement
The file lambda.complement contains the complementary sequence of the sequence lambda. Assuming that the last lines of lambda are : 
   48301  CATGAGGTTG CCCCGTATTC AGTGTCGCTG ATTTGTATTG TCTGAAGTTG 
   48351  TTTTTACGTT AAGTTGATGC AGATCAATTA ATACGATACC TGCGTCATAA
lambda.complement begins with: 
LAMBDA     48502 bp ds-DNA    V00636 X00906 #
CGTAACCTGTCGGATCACCGGAAAGGACCCGTAAAGTGATAATGATTA
