Optional methods
These methods are non-redistributable or depend on non-redistributable software (indicated
by '*'). You have to acquire the non-redistributable components yourself before you can
use these methods.
These methods are run by the target 'optional'.

Output format
Method outputs are deposited into --output-dir. Each method has one or more file name
extensions associated with it, see the table above. Refer to the man page of the
individual methods for further details. Extensions ending with `gz' are compressed with
gzip(1).

OPTIONS
--blast-processors
Number of processors to use, default = 1
-c, --num-cpus
Make jobs, default = 1
-d, --debug
--help
Print a brief help message and exits.
-m, --make-file
make file to use, default = /usr/share/predictprotein/MakefilePP.mk
--makedebug
debug argument for make, see make(1)
--man
This documentation page
--method
Describes method control parameters and requests methods to run when --target is not
all. Format example:
--method=norsp,win=50
* begin with the method name, e.g. `norsp'
* list method control parameters, e.g. win=50
Not all methods support passing control parameters in this way due to their primitive
command line interfaces.
-n, --dryrun
Do not execute, just shows what is about to be run
--numresmax
Maximum sequence length, default: 6000. Sequences longer than this will make
predictprotein fail with the respective error code, see ERRORS.
-o, --output-dir
Final location of outputfiles, required unless caching is used.
--print-ext-method-map
Print externsion-to-method map. Useful as input file for consistency checkers.
Format: <extension><tab><method>.
--profnumresmin
Minimum sequence length required by prof, default: 17. Sequences shorter than this
will make predictprotein fail with the respective error code, see ERRORS.
--psicexe
psic wrapper executable, default: /usr/share/rost-runpsic/runNewPSIC.pl
-p, --prot-name
Base name of result files and protein name in - for example - FASTA files. Default =
`query'.
Valid names are of the character set "[[:alnum:]._-]".
-s, --seq, --sequence
one letter amino acid sequence input
--seqfile
FASTA amino acid sequence file; if `-', standard input is read
--spkeyidx
Swiss-Prot keyword-to-identifier 'index' file for loctree(1).
--target=string
Method groups to run. Give this argument for each target you need. Default: the
value of `default_targets' in the configuration file; `all' if that is not given.
Some targets of interest:
all methods that are GPL or redistributable to non-commercial entities
optional
methods that do not fit into all
Look at /usr/share/predictprotein/MakefilePP.mk for a list of targets ("Use the source
Luke").
-v, --version
Print package version
-w, --work-dir
Working directory, optional
Database options
--bigblastdb
Path to comprehensive blast database
--big80blastdb
Path to comprehensive blast database at 80% sequence identity redundancy level
--pfam2db
Pfam v2 database, e.g. Pfam_ls
--pfam3db
Pfam v3 database, e.g. Pfam-A.hmm
--prodomblastdb
Obsolete. This argument is kept only to maintain compatibility with older versions.
--prositedat
Path to `prosite.dat' file, see
<https://rostlab.org/owiki/index.php/Packages#Resource_definitions>
--prositeconvdat
Path to `prosite_convert.dat' file, see
<https://rostlab.org/owiki/index.php/Packages#Resource_definitions>
--swissblastdb
Path to SwissProt blast database
Cache related options
--acl, --setacl
Set access control lists. Access control lists are set only in case results are
stored in the cache. This option is ineffective otherwise. All previous ACLs are
lost - no merging. The read bit controls browsability of results. Other bits are not
used. E.g.
u:lkajan:4,u:gyachdav:4,g:lkajan:4,o::0
--cache-merge
--nocache-merge
Merge/do not merge results into cache. --cache-merge reuses results already in cache;
this turns --use-cache on automatically. --cache-merge is incompatible with
--force-cache-store.
--nocache-merge is the default UNLESS
• --use-cache is on and
• --noforce-cache-store is in effect and
• --target is used and
• the cache is not empty
--cache-merge is silently ignored in case the cache is empty.
--force-cache-store
--noforce-cache-store
Enable/disable forcing storage of results into cache. Implies --use-cache. Default:
--noforce-cache-store
With --noforce-cache-store when predictprotein finds cached results it simply fetches
them from the cache and does no processing (even if the results are incomplete). With
--force-cache-store predictprotein does not fetch anything from the cache but does
store the results, completely replacing what was cached.
--force-cache-store is incompatible with --cache-merge.
--use-cache
--nouse-cache
Use/do not use cache for predictprotein results. Default: --nouse-cache.
Option `use_cache' may be given in configuration files to override default.
ERRORS
253 Sequence is too long, see --numresmax
254 Sequence is too short, shorter than minimum length required by prof. See
--profnumresmin.
EXAMPLES
predictprotein --seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta --output-dir /tmp/pp
predictprotein --seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta --output-dir /tmp/pp --target query.profRdb --target loctree2
predictprotein --seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta --method=norsp,win=100 --output-dir /tmp/pp
Cache examples
Store results in cache, do not care about storing files in --output-dir:
predictprotein --seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta --method=norsp,win=100 --use-cache --setacl g:rostlab:7
If not in cache store, otherwise fetch results from cache into --output-dir:
predictprotein --seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta --method=norsp,win=100 --use-cache --setacl g:rostlab:7 --output-dir /tmp/pp

NOTES
Popularity Contest
The pp-popularity-contest package included with this image sets up a cron job that will
periodically anonymously submit to the Rost Lab developers statistics about the most used
Rost Lab packages on this system.
This information helps us making decisions such as which packages should receive high
priority when fixing bugs. It also helps us decide which packages should receive funding
for further development and support. This information is also very important when the
Rost Lab applies for funding.
Without the funding we receive based on the usage statistics you volunteer none of the
packages on this image could be made available to you at no cost.
In case you do not wish to participate in the popularity contest please remove the pp-
popularity-contest package.
