tantan - low complexity and tandem repeat masker for biosequences

tantan [options] fasta-sequence-file(s)

Find simple repeats in sequences

interpret the sequences as proteins
letter to use for masking, instead of lowercase
preserve uppercase/lowercase in non-masked regions
file for letter pair scores (+1/-1, but -p selects BLOSUM62)
probability of a repeat starting per position (0.005)
probability of a repeat ending per position (0.05)
maximum tandem repeat period to consider (100, but -p selects 50)
probability decay per period (0.9)
gap existence cost (0)
gap extension cost (infinite: no gaps)
minimum repeat probability for masking (0.5)
output type: 0=masked sequence, 1=repeat probabilities,
2=repeat counts, 3=BED (0)
