PROGRAM:

NAME


kalign - performs multiple alignment of biological sequences.

SYNOPSIS


kalign [infile.fasta] [outfile.fasta] [Options]

kalign [-i infile.fasta] [-o outfile.fasta] [Options]

kalign [< infile.fasta] [> outfile.fasta] [Options]

DESCRIPTION


Kalign is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of biological sequences. It
employs the Muth?Manber string-matching algorithm, to improve both the accuracy and speed
of the alignment. It uses global, progressive alignment approach, enriched by employing an
approximate string-matching algorithm to calculate sequence distances and by incorporating
local matches into the otherwise global alignment.

OPTIONS


-s -gpo -gapopen -gap_open x
Gap open penalty .

-e -gpe -gap_ext -gapextension x
Gap extension penalty.

-t -tgpe -terminal_gap_extension_penalty x
Terminal gap penalties.

-m -bonus -matrix_bonus x
A constant added to the substitution matrix.

-c -sort <input, tree, gaps.>
The order in which the sequences appear in the output alignment.

-g -feature
Selects feature mode and specifies which features are to be used: e.g. all, maxplp,
STRUCT, PFAM-A?

-same_feature_score
Score for aligning same features.

-diff_feature_score
Penalty for aligning different features.

-d -distance <wu, pair>
Distance method

-b -tree -guide-tree <nj, upgma>
Guide tree method.

-z -zcutoff
Parameter used in the wu-manber based distance calculation.

-i -in -input
Name of the input file.

-o -out -output
Name of the output file.

-a -gap_inc
Increases gap penalties depending on the number of existing gaps.

-f -format <fasta, msf, aln, clu, macsim>
The output format.

-q -quiet
Print nothing to STDERR. Read nothing from STDIN.
