NAME

       pbsEncode - Produce an approximate binary encoding of a probabilistic

DESCRIPTION

       Produce  an  approximate  binary encoding of a probabilistic biological sequence (PBS), as
       defined by a text file ("input.probs") with a row for each position in the sequence and  a
       column for each base.  The (i,j)th value in this table should be the probability of base j
       at position i.  Columns should be white-space delimited.  The encoding will be as  defined
       by "codefile", which should be in the format used by pbsTrain.

       This program performs the inverse function of pbsDecode.

EXAMPLE

       Encode  the  probabilities in a file "anc.human-mouse.probs", produced by prequel, using a
       code  file  "mammals.code",  produced  by   pbsTrain.    pbsEncode   anc.human-mouse.probs
       mammals.code > anc.human-mouse.bin

OPTIONS

       --discard-gaps, -G

       Discard gaps in the PBS.
              Gaps in the input data are assumed

              to be represented by rows consisting of a single "-" character.

       --help, -h Produce this help message.
