  Description     : identification and masking of segments of low compositional complexity in amino acid sequences

SEG is a program for identifying and masking segments of low compositional complexity in amino acid sequences.
.
seg divides sequences into contrasting segments of low-complexity and high-complexity.  Low-complexity segments defined by the
algorithm represent "simple sequences" or "compositionally-biased regions".
.
This program is inappropriate for masking nucleotide sequences and, in fact, may strip some nucleotide ambiguity codes from nt. sequences as they are being read.
