TITLE: motif-mark AUTHOR: Andreas Martinez Description: motif-mark takes in a fasta file and a list of target motifs, it determines the exons, introns, target motif sequences and all possible degenerate bases/ambiguous nucleotides and then generates a color coded PNG image depicting these features.

INSTRUCTIONS Execute file by running "./motif-mark-oop.py -f -m "

motif-mark will output a PNG of the sequence lengths, exons and target motifs

ENVIRONMENT conda create -n my_pycairo pycairo conda activate my_pycairo

INPUT

1. fasta file
2. list of target motifs

OUTPUT

1. PNG graph of equence lengths, exons and color coded target motifs along with a legend. Legend and motif colors are modular and automatically customized depending on which values are found.

MODULES USED argparse -> soft codes input files for modularized use re -> a common module used to include regular expressions in code pycairo -> the module that creates the graphical representation
