Generates a sparse protein signature from an alignment Version: EMBOSS:6.2.0 Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers (* if not always prompted): [-algpath] dirlist [./] This option specifies the location of DAF files (domain alignment files) (input). A 'domain alignment file' contains a sequence alignment of domains belonging to the same SCOP or CATH family (or other node in the structural hierarchies). The file is in DAF format (CLUSTAL-like) and is annotated with domain family classification information. The files generated by using SCOPALIGN will contain a structure-based sequence alignment of domains of known structure only. Such alignments can be extended with sequence relatives (of unknown structure) by using SEQALIGN. -mode menu [1] This option specifies the mode of signature generation. There are 3 modes for signatures generatation: (1) Use positions specified in alignment file. The alignment file must contain a line beginning with the text 'Positions' for each line of the alignment. A '1' in the 'Positions' line indicates that the signature should include data from the corresponding alignment site. The signature will only include the positions that are marked with a '1'. (2) Use a scoring method. The alignment is scored (see 'Algorithm') and the signature of a specified sparsity is sampled from high scoring positions. (3): Generate a randomised signature. A signature of a specified sparsity is sampled at random from the alignment. (Values: 1 (Use positions specified in alignment file); 2 (Use a scoring method); 3 (Generate a randomised signature)) * -conoption menu [5] This option specifies the structure-based scoring scheme. SIGGEN provides 2 structure-based scoring schemes (plus a combination method) that are used to score the input alignment. (Values: 1 (Number); 2 (Conservation); 3 (Number and conservation); 4 (None (structural data available)); 5 (None (no structural data available))) * -conpath directory [./] This option specifies the location of CON files (contact files) (input). A 'contact file' contains contact data for a protein or a domain from SCOP or CATH, in the CON format (EMBL-like). The contacts may be intra-chain residue-residue, inter-chain residue-residue or residue-ligand. The files are generated by using CONTACTS, INTERFACE and SITES. * -cpdbpath directory [./] This option specifies the location of domain CCF files (clean coordinate files) (input). A 'clean cordinate file' contains protein coordinate and derived data for a single PDB file ('protein clean coordinate file') or a single domain from SCOP or CATH ('domain clean coordinate file'), in CCF format (EMBL-like). The files, generated by using PDBPARSE (PDB files) or DOMAINER (domains), contain 'cleaned-up' data that is self-consistent and error-corrected. Records for residue solvent accessibility and secondary structure are added to the file by using PDBPLUS. * -seqoption menu [3] This option specifies the sequence-based scoring scheme. SIGGEN provides 2 sequence-based scoring schemes that are used to score the input alignment. (Values: 1 (Substitution matrix); 2 (Residue class); 3 (None)) * -datafile matrixf [EBLOSUM62] This option specifies the the substitution matrix. The substitution matrix is used by the sequence-based scoring schemes. * -sparsity integer [10] This option specifies the % sparsity of signature. The signature sparsity is a user-defined parameter that determines how many residues the final signature will contain, for example, if the average sequence length of the proteins in the alignment is 250 residues, then a signature of sparsity 10% (default value) will contain 25 key residues or signature positions, that correspond to the top 25% highest scoring alignment positions. (Any integer value) -wsiz integer [0] This option specifies the window size. When a signature is aligned to a protein sequence, the permissible gaps between two signature positions is determined by the empirical gaps and the window size. The user is prompted for a window size that is used for every position in the signature. Likely this is not optimal. A future implementation will provide a range of methods for generating values of window size depending upon the alignment (window size is identified by the WSIZ record in the signature output file). (Any integer value) * -filtercon toggle [N] This option specifies whether to disregard positions forming few contacts only during the selection of signature positions. * -conthresh integer [10] This option specifies the threshold contact number. This controls the selection of key positions for the structure-based scoring scheme (number of contacts). (Any integer value) * -[no]filterpsim boolean [Y] This option specifies whether to disregard alignment sites that were not aligned satisfactorily (STAMP alignments only). [-sigoutdir] outdir [./] This option specifies the location of signature files (output). A 'signature file' contains a sparse sequence signature suitable for use with the SIGSCAN and SIGGEN programs. The files are generated by using SIGGEN & SIGGENLIG. Additional (Optional) qualifiers: (none) Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers: (none) Associated qualifiers: (none) 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 and exit.
