## Function

Extract data from REBASE

## Description

The Restriction Enzyme database (REBASE) is a collection of information about restriction enzymes and related proteins. It contains published and unpublished references, recognition and cleavage sites, isoschizomers, commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data. DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases, nicking enzymes, specificity subunits and control proteins are also included. Most recently, putative DNA methyltransferases and restriction enzymes, as predicted from analysis of genomic sequences, are also listed.

The home page of REBASE is: http://rebase.neb.com/

This program derives recognition site and cleavage information from the "withrefm" file of an REBASE distribution. It creates three files in the EMBOSS data subdirectory REBASE. A pattern file, a reference file and a supplier file.

It will also (by default) produce an 'embossre.equ' file. This can be turned off by setting the -equivalences option to be false. This option calculates an 'embossre.equ' file using restriction enzyme prototypes in the "withrefm" file. The 'embossre.equ' file is a file of preferred isoschizomers. You may edit it to contain your available restriction enzymes.

The EMBOSS programs that find restriction cutting sites use the data files produced by this program and will not work without them.

Running this program may be the job of your system manager.

## Input file format

The input file must be the "withrefm" file of a REBASE distribution.

For example, the withrefm file for REBASE version 005 is at: ftp://ftp.neb.com/pub/rebase/withrefm.005

### Input files for usage example

### File: withrefm

    REBASE version 106                                              withrefm.106

    <ENZYME NAME>   Restriction enzyme name.
    <ISOSCHIZOMERS> Other enzymes with this specificity.
    <RECOGNITION SEQUENCE>
                    These are written from 5' to 3', only one strand being given.
                    If the point of cleavage has been determined, the precise site
                    is marked with ^.  For enzymes such as HgaI, MboII etc., which
                    cleave away from their recognition sequence the cleavage sites
                    are indicated in parentheses.

                    For example HgaI GACGC (5/10) indicates cleavage as follows:
                                    5' GACGCNNNNN^      3'
                                    3' CTGCGNNNNNNNNNN^ 5'

                    In all cases the recognition sequences are oriented so that
                    the cleavage sites lie on their 3' side.

                    REBASE Recognition sequences representations use the standard
                    abbreviations (Eur. J. Biochem. 150: 1-5, 1985) to represent
                    ambiguity.
                                    R = G or A
                                    Y = C or T
                                    M = A or C
                                    K = G or T
                                    S = G or C
                                    W = A or T
                                    B = not A (C or G or T)
                                    D = not C (A or G or T)
                                    H = not G (A or C or T)
                                    V = not T (A or C or G)
                                    N = A or C or G or T

                    ENZYMES WITH UNUSUAL CLEAVAGE PROPERTIES:

                    Enzymes that cut on both sides of their recognition sequences,
                    such as BcgI, Bsp24I, CjeI and CjePI, have 4 cleavage sites
                    each instead of 2.

The output files are held in the REBASE subdirectory of the EMBOSS data directory. There are three:

- embossre.enz Enzyme pattern file
- embossre.ref Enzyme references
- embossre.sup Enzyme suppliers

rebaseextract will also (by default) produce an 'embossre.equ' file in the EMBOSS data directory. This can be turned off by setting the -equivalences option to be false. This option calculates an 'embossre.equ' file using restriction enzyme prototypes in the "withrefm" file. The 'embossre.equ' file is a file of preferred isoschizomers. You may edit it to contain your available restriction enzymes.

## Data files

The "withrefm" file of an REBASE distribution is the input file for this program.

## Notes

The home page of REBASE is: http://rebase.neb.com/

Running this program may be the job of your system manager.

The ready-made files produced by this program may already be available at the REBASE web site: http://rebase.neb.com/rebase/rebase.files.html or http://rebase.neb.com/rebase/rebase.f37.html

## References

1. Nucleic Acids Research 27: 312-313 (1999).

## Warnings

The program will warn you if the input file is incorrectly formatted.

## Diagnostic Error Messages

## Exit status

It exits with status 0 unless an error is reported.
