NAME¶
ntdpal - Provides Primer3's alignment functionalitySYNOPSIS¶
ntdpal [-g gval] [-l lval] [-m mval] [-f1, f2, f3] [-p] [-s] [-e] {seq1} {seq2} {mode}
DESCRIPTION¶
Ntdpal (NucleoTide Dynamic Programming ALignment) is a stand-alone program that provides Primer3's alignment functionality (local, a.k.a. Smith-Waterman, global, a.k.a. Needleman-Wunsch, plus "half global").OPTIONS¶
-g gvalgval is a (positive) float (.01 precision)
specifying penalty for creating a gap respectively (the penalties are
subtracted from the output score)
-l val
lval is a (positive) float (.01 precision)
specifying penalty for lengthening a gap respectively (the penalties are
subtracted from the output score)
-a
Causes the scoring matrix to be modified by
dpal_set_ambiguity_codes.
-e
Causes the end position of the alignment in both
sequences to be printed. Do not confuse with the 'e' mode.
-f1, -f2, -f3
Force specific implementations. -f2 forces use an
implementation that might provide more informative error messages, possibly at
the expense of some speed.
-h
Use a different scoring matrix: G and C matches = 3, A
and T = 2, and mismatches = -0.5. (The default scoring matrix assigns 1 to a
match, and -1 to a mismatch.)
-p
Causes the alignment to be displayed on stderr.
-s
causes only the score to printed.
-m mval
is the maximum allowed gap (default is 3).
seq1 and seq2
are the sequences to be aligned.
mode
is one of g, G, l, or L
specifying a global, global end-anchored, local, or local end-anchored
alignment respectively. For backward compatibility e is equivalent to
G.
