NAME

       kalign - performs multiple alignment of biological sequences.

SYNOPSIS

       kalign [infile.fasta] [outfile.fasta] [Options]

       kalign [-i infile.fasta] [-o outfile.fasta] [Options]

       kalign [< infile.fasta] [> outfile.fasta] [Options]

DESCRIPTION

       Kalign is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of biological sequences. It employs the Muth?Manber string-matching algorithm,
       to improve both the accuracy and speed of the alignment. It uses global, progressive alignment approach, enriched by employing an
       approximate string-matching algorithm to calculate sequence distances and by incorporating local matches into the otherwise global
       alignment.

OPTIONS

       -s -gpo -gapopen -gap_open x
	   Gap open penalty .

       -e -gpe -gap_ext -gapextension x
	   Gap extension penalty.

       -t -tgpe -terminal_gap_extension_penalty x
	   Terminal gap penalties.

       -m -bonus -matrix_bonus x
	   A constant added to the substitution matrix.

       -c -sort <input, tree, gaps.>
	   The order in which the sequences appear in the output alignment.

       -g -feature
	   Selects feature mode and specifies which features are to be used: e.g. all, maxplp, STRUCT, PFAM-A?

       -same_feature_score
	   Score for aligning same features.

       -diff_feature_score
	   Penalty for aligning different features.

       -d -distance <wu, pair>
	   Distance method

       -b -tree -guide-tree <nj, upgma>
	   Guide tree method.

       -z -zcutoff
	   Parameter used in the wu-manber based distance calculation.

       -i -in -input
	   Name of the input file.

       -o -out -output
	   Name of the output file.

       -a -gap_inc
	   Increases gap penalties depending on the number of existing gaps.

       -f -format <fasta, msf, aln, clu, macsim>
	   The output format.

       -q -quiet
	   Print nothing to STDERR. Read nothing from STDIN.
