OPTIONS

Where: (all weights, penalties, and scores are positive)

sequences input file
matching weight
mismatching penalty
indel penalty
match probability (whole number)
indel probability (whole number)
minimum alignment score to report
maximum period size to report

[options] = one or more of the following:

masked sequence file
flanking sequence
data file
suppress html output
no redundancy elimination
maximum TR length expected (in millions) (eg, -l 3 or -l=3 for 3 million) Human genome HG38 would need -l 6
more compact .dat output on multisequence files, returns 0 on success. Output is printed to the screen, not a file. You may pipe input in with this option using - for file name. Short 50 flanks are appended to .dat output.
