fasta-decoy.pl - decoy input databanks following several moethods

Reads input fasta file and produce a decoyed databanks with several methods:

#reverse sequences for a local (optionaly compressed) file fasta-decoys.pl --in=/tmp/uniprot_sprot.fasta.gz --method=reverse
#download databanks from the web | uncompress it and shuffle the sequence wget -silent -O - ftp://ftp.expasy.org/databases/uniprot/current_release/knowledgebase/complete/uniprot_sprot.fasta.gz | zcat | databatanks-decoy.pl --method=shuffle
#use a .dat file (with splice forms) as an input uniprotdat2fasta.pl --in=uniprot_sprot_human.dat | fasta-decoy.pl --method=markovmodel

An input fasta file (will be uncompressed if ending with gz)
A .fasta file [default is stdout]
Set the decoying method

Re-shuffle peptides of size >=6 that where detected as cleaved one in original databank
Set the size of the peptide to be reshuffled is they already exist
Building a hash of known cleaved peptide can be quite demanding for memory (uniprot_rembl => ~4GB). Thereforea solution is to make an but array containing stating if or not a peptide with corresponding crc code was found.
Set a regular expression for the enzyme [default is trysin: '(?<=[KR])(?=[^P])']
Just digest entries with the set enzyme and produces space separated peptides (to check the enzyme)
Set length of the model (0 means only AA distrbution will be respected, 3 means chains of length 3 distribution etc.). Setting a length >3 can deal to memory burnout.
do not display terminal progress bar (if possible)
Setting an environment vartiable DO_NOT_DELETE_TEMP=1 will keep the temporay file after the script exit
