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

DESCRIPTION

Find simple repeats in sequences

Options (default settings):

interpret the sequences as proteins
letter to use for masking, instead of lowercase
preserve uppercase/lowercase in non-masked regions

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)
