NAME

       glam2mask - masks a GLAM2 motif in sequences

SYNOPSIS

       glam2mask [options] my_motif.glam2 my_seqs.fa

DESCRIPTION

       glam2mask masks a glam2 motif out of sequences, so that weaker motifs can be found.
       Masking replaces residues aligned to key positions with the symbol ´x´. By alternately
       applying glam2 and glam2mask several times, it is possible to find the strongest,
       second-strongest, third-strongest, etc. motifs in a set of sequences.

OPTIONS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)

       -o
           Output file (stdout).

       -x
           Mask character (x).
