listor

listor performs a logical OR operation on two sets of sequences to produce a list file that combines sequence entries for downstream sequence analysis.

Key Features:

• Logical OR operation: Generates a single list file representing the union (logical OR) of two input sequence sets.
• EMBOSS integration: Operates within the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS) to interoperate with other EMBOSS applications and third-party software.
• Sequence-focused output: Produces a consolidated sequence list suitable for analysis of overlapping genetic elements and combined datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative genomics: Identify common genes or shared sequence elements across multiple organisms by combining sequence sets.
• Gene expression and dataset combination: Combine sequence datasets to analyze overlapping genetic features in gene expression studies.
• Sequence aggregation for analysis: Aggregate sequences from different sources to support downstream sequence analyses and feature discovery.

Methodology:

Operates within the EMBOSS environment, leverages EMBOSS C programming libraries, supports Application Configuration Description (ACD) files for application configuration, and follows EMBOSS API programming guidelines.
