       Input  is  the  .delta output of either the "nucmer" or the "promer" program passed on the
       command line.

       Output is to stdout, and consists of all the alignments between the  query  and  reference
       sequences identified on the command line.

       NOTE:  No sorting is done by default, therefore the alignments will be ordered as found in
       the <deltafile> input.

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

       All tools (exept for gaps) obey to the -h, --help, -V and --version options as  one  would
       expect. This help is excellent and makes these man pages basically obsolete.
       combineMUMs  Combines  MUMs  in <GapsFile> by extending matches off ends and between MUMs.
       <RefSequence> is a fasta file of the reference sequence.   <MatchSequences>  is  a  multi-
       fasta file of the sequences matched against the reference

         -D      Only output to stdout the difference positions
                 and characters
         -n      Allow matches only between nucleotides, i.e., ACGTs
         -N num  Break matches at <num> or more consecutive non-ACGTs
         -q tag  Used to label query match
         -r tag  Used to label reference match
         -S      Output all differences in strings
         -t      Label query matches with query fasta header
         -v num  Set verbose level for extra output
         -W file Reset the default output filename witherrors.gaps
         -x      Don't output .cover files
         -e      Set error-rate cutoff to e (e.g. 0.02 is two percent)
       dnadiff  Run  comparative  analysis  of  two sequence sets using nucmer and its associated
       utilities with recommended parameters.  See  MUMmer  documentation  for  a  more  detailed
       description of the output. Produces the following output files:

           .report  - Summary of alignments, differences and SNPs

       MANDATORY:
           reference       Set the input reference multi-FASTA filename
           query           Set the input query multi-FASTA filename
             or
           delta file      Unfiltered .delta alignment file from nucmer

       OPTIONS:
           -d|delta        Provide precomputed delta file for analysis
           -h
           --help          Display help information and exit
           -p|prefix       Set the prefix of the output files (default "out")
           -V
           --version       Display the version information and exit

       delta-filter
         -e float    For switches -g -r -q, keep repeats within e percent
                     of the best LIS score [0, 100], no repeats by default
         -g          Global alignment using length*identity weighted LIS.
                     For every reference-query pair, leave only the aligns
                     which form the longest mutually consistent set
         -h          Display help information
         -i float    Set the minimum alignment identity [0, 100], default 0
         -l int      Set the minimum alignment length, default 0
         -q          Query alignment using length*identity weighted LIS.
                     For each query, leave only the aligns which form the
                     longest consistent set for the query
         -r          Reference alignment using length*identity weighted LIS.
                     For each reference, leave only the aligns which form
                     the longest consistent set for the reference
         -u float    Set the minimum alignment uniqueness, i.e. percent of
                     the alignment matching to unique reference AND query
                     sequence [0, 100], default 0
         -o float    Set the maximum alignment overlap for -r and -q options
                     as a percent of the alignment length [0, 100], default 100

         Reads  a  delta  alignment  file from either nucmer or promer and filters the alignments
       based on the command-line switches, leaving only the desired alignments which  are  output
       to  stdout  in  the  same  delta  format  as  the  input.  For multiple switches, order of
       operations is as follows: -i -l -u -q -r -g. If an alignment is excluded  by  a  preceding
       operation, it will be ignored by the succeeding operations

         An important distinction between the -g option and the -r -q options is that -g requires
       the alignments to be mutually consistent in their order, while the -r -q options  are  not
       required to be mutually consistent and therefore tolerate translocations, inversions, etc.
       Thus, -r provides a one-to-many, -q a many-to-one, -r -q a one-to-one local  mapping,  and
       -g a one-to-one global mapping of reference and query bases respectively.

       nuncmer
           nucmer generates nucleotide alignments between two mutli-FASTA input
           files. Two output files are generated. The .cluster output file lists
           clusters of matches between each sequence. The .delta file lists the
           distance between insertions and deletions that produce maximal scoring
           alignments between each sequence.

                         extension reaches the end of a sequence, it will backtrack
                         to optimize the alignment score instead of terminating the

           distance between insertions and deletions that produce maximal scoring
           alignments between each sequence. The DNA input is translated into all 6
           reading frames in order to generate the output, but the output coordinates
           reference the original DNA input.

                         output file using the "show-coords" program
         --[no]optimize  Toggle alignment score optimization, i.e. if an alignment
                         extension reaches the end of a sequence, it will backtrack
                         to optimize the alignment score instead of terminating the

         -g          Deprecated option. Please use 'delta-filter' instead
         -h          Display help information
         -H          Do not print the output header
         -I float    Set minimum percent identity to display
         -k          Knockout (do not display) alignments that overlap
                     another alignment in a different frame by more than 50%
                     of their length, AND have a smaller percent similarity

         Input  is the .delta output of either the "nucmer" or the "promer" program passed on the
       command line.

         Output is to stdout, and consists of a list of coordinates, percent identity, and  other
       useful  information  regarding  the  alignment  data  contained in the .delta file used as
       input.

         NOTE: No sorting is done by default, therefore the alignments will be ordered  as  found
       in the <deltafile> input.

         -h            Display help information
         -H            Do not print the output header
         -I            Do not report indels
         -l            Include sequence length information in the output
         -q            Sort output lines by query IDs and SNP positions
         -r            Sort output lines by reference IDs and SNP positions
         -S            Specify which alignments to report by passing
                       'show-coords' lines to stdin
         -T            Switch to tab-delimited format
         -x int        Include x characters of surrounding SNP context in the
                       output, default 0

         Input  is the .delta output of either the nucmer or promer program passed on the command
       line.

         Output is to stdout, and consists of a list of SNPs (or  amino  acid  substitutions  for
       promer)  with  positions  and other useful info.  Output will be sorted with -r by default
       and the [BUFF] column will always refer to the sequence whose positions have been  sorted.
       This value specifies the distance from this SNP to the nearest mismatch (end of alignment,
       indel, SNP, etc) in the same alignment, while the [DIST]  column  specifies  the  distance
       from  this  SNP  to  the  nearest sequence end. SNPs for which the [R] and [Q] columns are
       greater than 0 should be evaluated with caution, as these columns specify  the  number  of
       other alignments which overlap this position. Use -C to assure SNPs are only reported from
       unique alignment regions.

       show-tiling
         -a          Describe the tiling path by printing the tab-delimited
                     alignment region coordinates to stdout

                     tiled contigs to span the origin
         -g int      Set maximum gap between clustered alignments [-1, INT_MAX]
                     A value of -1 will represent infinity
                     (nucmer default = 1000)
                     (promer default = -1)
         -i float    Set minimum percent identity to tile [0.0, 100.0]
                     (nucmer default = 90.0)
                     (promer default = 55.0)
         -l int      Set minimum length contig to report [-1, INT_MAX]
                     A value of -1 will represent infinity
                     (common default = 1)
         -p file     Output a pseudo molecule of the query contigs to 'file'
         -R          Deal with repetitive contigs by randomly placing them
                     in one of their copy locations (implies -V 0)
         -t file     Output a TIGR style contig list of each query sequence
                     that sufficiently matches the reference (non-circular)
         -u file     Output the tab-delimited alignment region coordinates
                     of the unusable contigs to 'file'
         -v float    Set minimum contig coverage to tile [0.0, 100.0]
                     (nucmer default = 95.0) sum of individual alignments
                     (promer default = 50.0) extent of syntenic region
         -V float    Set minimum contig coverage difference [0.0, 100.0]
                     i.e. the difference needed to determine one alignment
                     is 'better' than another alignment
                     (nucmer default = 10.0) sum of individual alignments
                     (promer default = 30.0) extent of syntenic region
         -x          Describe the tiling path by printing the XML contig
                     linking information to stdout

         Input is the .delta output of the nucmer program, run on very similar sequence data,  or
       the .delta output of the promer program, run on divergent sequence data.

         Output  is  to  stdout,  and  consists  of the predicted location of each aligning query
       contig as mapped to the reference sequences.  These coordinates reference  the  extent  of
       the  entire  query  contig, even when only a certain percentage of the contig was actually
       aligned (unless the -a option is used). Columns are, start in ref, end in ref, distance to
       next  contig,  length  of  this  contig, alignment coverage, identity, orientation, and ID
       respectively.
