pxnw - conduct Needleman-Wunsch analysis for all the seqs in a file

SYNOPSIS

pxnw [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

Conduct Needleman-Wunsch analysis for all the seqs in a file. This will take fasta, fastq, phylip, and nexus formats from a file or STDIN. Output is a list of the scores and distances (and the alignments if asked).

OPTIONS

input sequence file, STDIN otherwise
output sequence file, won't output otherwise
sequence type, default=DNA (DNA=0,AA=1)
scoring matrix, default DNA=EDNAFULL, AA=BLOSUM62
number of threads (open mp), default=2
make the output more verbose, turns off parallel
output score/distance file, STOUT otherwise
