Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-asequence] sequence Nucleotide sequence filename and optional format, or reference (input USA) [-bsequence] seqall Genomic sequence [-outfile] outfile [*.esim4] Sim4 program output file Additional (Optional) qualifiers (* if not always prompted): -word integer [12] Sets the word size (W) for blast hits. Default value: 12. (Any integer value) -extend integer [12] Sets the word extension termination limit (X) for the blast-like stage of the algorithm. Default value: 12. (Any integer value) -cutoff integer [3] Sets the cutoff (E) in range [3,10]. (Integer up to 10) -useramsp toggle [N] False: esim4 calculates mspA, True: value from mspA command line argument. * -amsp integer [16] MSP score threshold (K) for the first stage of the algorithm. (If this option is not specified, the threshold is computed from the lengths of the sequences, using statistical criteria.) For example, a good value for genomic sequences in the range of a few hundred Kb is 16. To avoid spurious matches, however, a larger value may be needed for longer sequences. (Any integer value) -userbmsp toggle [N] False: esim4 calculates mspB, True: value from mspB command line argument. * -bmsp integer [12] Sets the threshold for the MSP scores (C) when aligning the as-yet-unmatched fragments, during the second stage of the algorithm. By default, the smaller of the constant 12 and a statistics-based threshold is chosen. (Any integer value) -weight integer [0] Weight value (H) (undocumented). 0 uses a default, >0 is a value (Any integer value) -diagonal integer [10] Bound (K) for the diagonal distance within consecutive MSPs in an exon. (Any integer value) -strand menu [both] This determines the strand of the genome (R) with which the mRNA will be aligned. The default value is 'both', in which case both strands of the genome are attempted. The other allowed modes are 'forward' and 'reverse'. (Values: both (Both strands); forward (Forward strand only); reverse (Reverse strand only)) -format integer [0] Sets the output format (A). Exon endpoints only (format=0), exon endpoints and boundaries of the coding region (CDS) in the genomic sequence, when specified for the input mRNA (-format=5), alignment text (-format=1), alignment in lav-block format (-format=2), or both exon endpoints and alignment text (-format=3 or -format=4). If a reverse complement match is found, -format=0,1,2,3,5 will give its position in the plus strand of the longer sequence and the minus strand of the shorter sequence. -format=4 will give its position in the plus strand of the first sequence (mRNA) and the minus strand of the second sequence (genome), regardless of which sequence is longer. The -format=5 option can be used with the S command line option to specify the endpoints of the CDS in the mRNA, and produces output in the exons file format required by PipMaker. (Integer from 0 to 5) -cliptails boolean [N] Trim poly-A tails (P). Specifies whether or not the program should report the fragment of the alignment containing the poly-A tail (if found). By default (-nocliptails) the alignment is displayed as computed. When this feature is enabled (-cliptails), sim4 will remove the poly-A tails and all format options will produce additional lav alignment headers. -smallexons boolean [N] Requests an additional search for small marginal exons (N) (N=1) guided by the splice-site recognition signals. This option can be used when a high accuracy match is expected. The default value is N=0, specifying no additional search. -[no]ambiguity boolean [Y] Controls the set of characters allowed in the input sequences (B). By default (-ambiguity), ambiguity characters (ABCDGHKMNRSTVWXY) are allowed. By specifying -noambiguity, the set of acceptable characters is restricted to A,C,G,T,N and X only. -cdsregion string Allows the user to specify the endpoints of the CDS in the input mRNA (S), with the syntax: -cdsregion=n1..n2. This option is only available with the -format=5 flag, which produces output in the format required by PipMaker. Alternatively, the CDS coordinates could appear in a construct CDS=n1..n2 in the FastA header of the mRNA sequence. When the second file is an mRNA database, the command line specification for the CDS will apply to the first sequence in the file only. (Any string is accepted) -aoffset integer [0] Undocumented (f) - some sort of offset in first sequence. (Any integer value) -boffset integer [0] Undocumented (F) - some sort of offset in second sequence. (Any integer value) -toa integer [0] Undocumented (t)- offset end of first sequence? (Any integer value) -tob integer [0] Undocumented (T) - offset end of second sequence? (Any integer value) Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers: (none) Associated qualifiers: "-asequence" associated qualifiers -sbegin1 integer Start of the sequence to be used -send1 integer End of the sequence to be used -sreverse1 boolean Reverse (if DNA) -sask1 boolean Ask for begin/end/reverse -snucleotide1 boolean Sequence is nucleotide -sprotein1 boolean Sequence is protein -slower1 boolean Make lower case -supper1 boolean Make upper case -sformat1 string Input sequence format -sdbname1 string Database name -sid1 string Entryname -ufo1 string UFO features -fformat1 string Features format -fopenfile1 string Features file name "-bsequence" associated qualifiers -sbegin2 integer Start of each sequence to be used -send2 integer End of each sequence to be used -sreverse2 boolean Reverse (if DNA) -sask2 boolean Ask for begin/end/reverse -snucleotide2 boolean Sequence is nucleotide -sprotein2 boolean Sequence is protein -slower2 boolean Make lower case -supper2 boolean Make upper case -sformat2 string Input sequence format -sdbname2 string Database name -sid2 string Entryname -ufo2 string UFO features -fformat2 string Features format -fopenfile2 string Features file name "-outfile" associated qualifiers -odirectory3 string Output directory General qualifiers: -auto boolean Turn off prompts -stdout boolean Write first file to standard output -filter boolean Read first file from standard input, write first file to standard output -options boolean Prompt for standard and additional values -debug boolean Write debug output to program.dbg -verbose boolean Report some/full command line options -help boolean Report command line options. More information on associated and general qualifiers can be found with -help -verbose -warning boolean Report warnings -error boolean Report errors -fatal boolean Report fatal errors -die boolean Report dying program messages |

Although we take every care to ensure that the results of the EMBOSS version are identical to those from the original package, we recommend that you check your inputs give the same results in both versions before publication.
Please report all bugs in the EMBOSS version to the EMBOSS bug team, not to the original author.
