DESCRIPTION

       seqalign is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open
       Software Suite”). It is part of the "Protein:3D Structure" command group(s).

OPTIONS

   Input section
       -mode list
           This option specifies the mode of SEQALIGN operation. SEQALIGN takes as input a
           directory of either i. single sequences, ii. set of sequences (unaligned or aligned,
           but typically aligned sequences within a domain alignment file)). The user has to
           specify which. Default value: 1

       -dhfinpath dirlist
           This option specifies the location of sequences, e.g. DHF files (domain hits files)
           (input). SEQALIGN takes as input a database of either i. single sequences, ii. sets of
           unaligned sequences or iii. sets of aligned sequences, e.g. a domain alignment file. A
           'domain alignment file' contains a sequence alignment of domains belonging to the same
           SCOP or CATH family. The file is in clustal format 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.
           Default value: ./

       -dafinpath dirlist
           This option specifies the location of sequences, e.g. DAF files (domain alignment
           files) (input). SEQALIGN takes as input a database of either i. single sequences, ii.
           sets of unaligned sequences or iii. sets of aligned sequences, e.g. a domain alignment
           file. A 'domain alignment file' contains a sequence alignment of domains belonging to
           the same SCOP or CATH family. The file is in clustal format 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. Default value: ./

       -dhfindir directory
           This option specifies the location of DHF files (domain hits files) (input). A 'domain
           hits file' contains database hits (sequences) with domain classification information,
           in the DHF format (FASTA or EMBL-like). The hits are relatives to a SCOP or CATH
           family and are found from a search of a sequence database. Files containing hits
           retrieved by PSIBLAST are generated by using SEQSEARCH. Default value: ./

   Required section
       -amode list
           This option specifies which alignment algorithm to use. Default value: 1

   Additional section
       -forcetype boolean
           This option specifies whether to force minimal domain classification data to be
           written to the output file in cases where singlet sequences were given as input file
           and no classification data was available Default value: N

   Output section
       -dafoutdir outdir
           This option specifies the location of DAF files (domain alignment files) (output). A
           'domain alignment file' contains a sequence alignment of domains belonging to the same
           SCOP or CATH family. The file is in clustal format 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.
           Default value: ./

       -logfile outfile
           This option specifies the name of log file for the build. The log file contains
           messages about any errors arising while SEQALIGN ran. Default value: seqalign.log
