Function

Scan one or more sequences with a Gribskov or Henikoff profile

Description

prophet scans one or more sequences with the supplied Gribskov or Henikoff profile (produced by prophecy). It writes the the highest-scoring (gapped) alignment for each sequence to file, which includes the score for the match. Gap opening coefficient and gap extension coefficient must be specified.

Algorithm

prophet does NOT use the 'simple frequency matrices' produced by prophecy. If you have a 'simple frequency matrix'you should use the program profit to scan sequences.

Usage

Here is a sample session with prophet

Input file format

prophet reads one or more nucleotide or protein sequences.

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').

Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl

Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.

The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats. prophet also reads a GRIBSKOV or a HENIKOFF profile produced by prophecy.

'tsw:h*' is a sequence entry in the example protein database 'tsw'

Output file format

The output is a standard EMBOSS alignment file.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -aformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. Some of the alignment formats can cope with an unlimited number of sequences, while others are only for pairs of sequences.

The available multiple alignment format names are: multiple, simple, fasta, msf, clustal, mega, meganon, nexus,, nexusnon, phylip, phylipnon, selex, treecon, tcoffee, debug, srs.

The available pairwise alignment format names are: pair, markx0, markx1, markx2, markx3, markx10, match, sam, bam, score, srspair

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/AlignFormats.html for further information on alignment formats.

By default the output is in 'simple' format.

Warnings

prophet does NOT use the 'simple frequency matrices' produced by prophecy. If you have a 'simple frequency matrix'you should use the program profit to scan sequences.

Diagnostic Error Messages

If you see something like:

   EMBOSS An error in prophet.c at line 110:
Unrecognised profile/matrix file format

then you have probably given prophet a 'simple frequency matrix' and not a a GRIBSKOV or HENIKOFF profile produced by prophecy.

If you see something like:

Uncaught exception
Allocation Failed
raised at prophet.c:147

then you have run out of memory. This will occur if your sequence and/or your profile are large.

prophet allocates space based on the length of the sequence and the size of the profile (8 x seqlen x profilelen)

Exit status

It exits with a status of 0.

Known bugs

None.

profit Scan one or more sequences with a simple frequency matrix
