NAME

makefamatrix -Generates scoring matrix for FOLDALIGN  

SYNOPSIS

makefamatrix [-lsize number] [-bpelon number] [-inbp_mat file] [-ibp_mat file] [-enbp_mat file] [-ebp_mat file]  

OPTIONS

makefamatrix accepts the following option.

-lsize number
Minimum allowed loop size. Default is 3.

-bpelon number
Base-pair elongation factor. Default is 1.

-inbp_mat file
Matrix file for gap initiation cost and no base-pair cost.

-ibp_mat file
Matrix file for gap initiation cost with base-pair cost.

-enbp_mat file
Matrix file for gap elongation cost and no base-pair cost.

-ebp_mat file
Matrix file for gap elongation cost with base-pair cost.

 

REQUIRED EXECUTABLES

makefamatrix requires the existence of

*
$FOLDALIGN_DIR/bin/genmatrix

 

EXAMPLES

Examples of the four types of matrices needed can be found in $FOLDALIGN_DIR/lib/*.mat. An on execution:

makefamatrix -lsize 4 -inbp_mat inbp.mat -ibp_mat ibp.mat -enbp_mat enbp.mat -ebp_mat ebp.mat
