1.0 SUMMARY

Sequence similarity data from all-versus-all comparison


2.0 INPUTS & OUTPUTS

ALLVERSUSALL reads a directory of files each containing a set of 2 or more sequences, performs an all-versus-all global alignment on each set and writes a file of sequence similarity values for each input file. The output files have the same base name as the input files. The path and extension of the input and output files are specified by the user in the ACD file.


3.0 INPUT FILE FORMAT

All common sequence format are supported.


4.0 OUTPUT FILE FORMAT

The output file contains 7 columns as follows:

6.0 USAGE

6.1 COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

Sequence similarity data from all-versus-all comparison.
Version: EMBOSS:6.6.0.0

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
  [-seqinpath]         dirlist    [./] Sequence directories
  [-datoutdir]         outdir     [./] This option specifies the location of
                                  sequence similarity data files (output).
   -logfile            outfile    [allversusall.log] This option specifies the
                                  name of ALLVERSUSALL log file (output). The
                                  log file contains messages about any errors
                                  arising while ALLVERSUSALL ran.

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers:
   -matrix             matrixf    [EBLOSUM62] This option specifies the
                                  residue substitution matrix that is used for
                                  sequence comparison.
   -gapopen            float      [10.0 for any sequence] This option
                                  specifies the gap insertion penalty. The gap
                                  insertion penalty is the score taken away
                                  when a gap is created. The best value
                                  depends on the choice of comparison matrix.
                                  The default value assumes you are using the
                                  EBLOSUM62 matrix for protein sequences, and
                                  the EDNAFULL matrix for nucleotide
                                  sequences. (Floating point number from 1.0
                                  to 100.0)
   -gapextend          float      [0.5 for any sequence] This option specifies
                                  the gap extension penalty. The gap
                                  extension, penalty is added to the standard
                                  gap penalty for each base or residue in the
                                  gap. This is how long gaps are penalized.
                                  Usually you will expect a few long gaps
                                  rather than many short gaps, so the gap
                                  extension penalty should be lower than the
                                  gap penalty. An exception is where one or
                                  both sequences are single reads with
                                  possible sequencing errors in which case you
                                  would expect many single base gaps. You can
                                  get this result by setting the gap open
                                  penalty to zero (or very low) and using the
                                  gap extension penalty to control gap
                                  scoring. (Floating point number from 0.0 to
                                  10.0)

The default value assumes you are using the EBLOSUM62 matrix for protein sequences, and the EDNAFULL matrix for nucleotide sequences. Floating point number from 1.0 to 100.0 10.0 for any sequence
-gapextend float This option specifies the gap extension penalty. The gap extension, penalty is added to the standard gap penalty for each base or residue in the gap. This is how long gaps are penalized. Usually you will expect a few long gaps rather than many short gaps, so the gap extension penalty should be lower than the gap penalty. An exception is where one or both sequences are single reads with possible sequencing errors in which case you would expect many single base gaps. You can get this result by setting the gap open penalty to zero (or very low) and using the gap extension penalty to control gap scoring. Floating point number from 0.0 to 10.0 0.5 for any sequence

8.1 GLOSSARY OF FILE TYPES

FILE TYPE FORMAT DESCRIPTION CREATED BY SEE ALSO
Domain hits file DHF format (FASTA-like). Database hits (sequences) with domain classification information. The hits are relatives to a SCOP or CATH family (or other node in the structural hierarchies) and are found from a search of a discriminating element (e.g. a protein signature, hidden Markov model, simple frequency matrix, Gribskov profile or Hennikoff profile) against a sequence database. SEQSEARCH (hits retrieved by PSIBLAST). SIGSCAN (hits retrieved by sparse protein signature). LIBSCAN (hits retrieved by various types of HMM and profile). N.A.



9.0 DESCRIPTION

All-versus-all sequence comparisons are commonly required. ALLVERSUSALL performs a full global pair-wise alignment for every permutation of pair of sequence in each input set of sequences. It writes a file of sequence similarity values for each input set of sequences.


10.0 ALGORITHM

Standard N&W type alignment.
