PROBCONS(1) Probcons Manual PROBCONS(1)NAME
probcons - align multiple protein sequences and print to standard output
SYNOPSIS
probcons [OPTION] [MFAFILE] [MFAFILE]
DESCRIPTION
probcons is a tool for generating multiple alignments of protein sequences. Using a combination of probabilistic modeling and
consistency-based alignment techniques, PROBCONS has achieved the highest accuracies of all alignment methods to date. On the BAliBASE
benchmark alignment database, alignments produced by PROBCONS show statistically significant improvement over current programs, containing
an average of 7% more correctly aligned columns than those of T-Coffee, 11% more correctly aligned columns than those of CLUSTAL W, and 14%
more correctly aligned columns than those of DIALIGN.
probcons aligns sequences provided in MFA format. This format consists of multiple sequences. Each sequence in MFA format begins with a
single-line description, followed by lines of sequence data. The description line is distinguished from the sequence data by a greater-than
(">") symbol in the first column.
OPTIONS -clustalw
use CLUSTALW output format instead of MFA
-c --consistency REPS
use 0 <= REPS <= 5 (default: 2) passes of consistency transformation
-ir --iterative-refinement REPS
use 0 <= REPS <=1000 (default: 100) passes of iterative-refinement
-pre --pre-training REPS
use 0 <= REPS <= 20 (default: 0) rounds of pretraining
-pairs
generate all-pairs pairwise alignments
-viterbi
use Viterbi algorithm to generate all pairs (automatically enables -pairs)
-v --verbose
Report progress while aligning (default: off)
-annot FILENAME
write annotation for multiple alignment to FILENAME
-t --train FILENAME
compute EM transition probabilities, store in FILENAME (default: no training)
-e --emissions
also reestimate emission probabilities (default: off)
-p --paramfile FILENAME
read parameters from FILENAME (default: )
-a --alignment-order
print sequences in alignment order rather than input order (default: off)
SEE ALSO
o You can find more information in the manual of ProbCons, which is located in /usr/share/doc/probcons/manual.pdf in Debian systems.
o An experimental version of ProbCons compiled with parameters estimated via unsupervised training on BRAliBASE, probcons-RNA(1), is also
distributed in the ProbCons Debian package.
o pc-makegnufile(1), pc-compare(1), pc-project(1), which are distributed separately in the probcons-extra package.
