RNAPDIST(1) User Commands RNAPDIST(1) NAME RNApdist - manual page for RNApdist 2.7.0 SYNOPSIS RNApdist [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION RNApdist 2.7.0 Calculate distances between thermodynamic RNA secondary structures en- sembles This program reads RNA sequences from stdin and calculates structure distances between the thermodynamic ensembles of their secondary struc- tures. To do this the partition function and matrix of base pairing probabili- ties is computed for each sequence. The probability matrix is then con- densed into a vector holding for each base the probabilities of being unpaired, paired upstream, or paired downstream, respectively. These profiles are compared by a standard alignment algorithm. The base pair probabilities are also saved as postscript "dot plots" (as in RNAfold) in the files "name_dp.ps", where name is the name of the sequence, or a number if unnamed. -h, --help Print help and exit --detailed-help Print help, including all details and hidden options, and exit --full-help Print help, including hidden options, and exit -V, --version Print version and exit -v, --verbose Be verbose. (default=off) Lower the log level setting such that even INFO messages are passed through. I/O Options: Command line options for input and output (pre-)processing --noconv Do not automatically substitute nucleotide "T" with "U". (default=off) --log-level=level Set log level threshold. (default=`2') By default, any log messages are filtered such that only warn- ings (level 2) or errors (level 3) are printed. This setting al- lows for specifying the log level threshold, where higher values result in fewer information. Log-level 5 turns off all messages, even errors and other critical information. --log-file[=filename] Print log messages to a file instead of stderr. (de- fault=`RNApdist.log') --log-time Include time stamp in log messages. (default=off) --log-call Include file and line of log calling function. (default=off) Algorithms: Select additional algorithms which should be included in the calculations. -X, --compare=p|m|f|c Specify the comparison directive. (default=`p') Possible arguments for this option are: -Xp compare the struc- tures pairwise (p), i.e. first with 2nd, third with 4th etc. -Xm calculate the distance matrix between all structures. The output is formatted as a lower triangle matrix. -Xf compare each structure to the first one. -Xc compare continuously, that is i-th with (i+1)th structure. -B, --backtrack[=<filename>] Print an "alignment" with gaps of the profiles. The aligned structures are written to <filename>, if specified. (default=`none') Within the profile output, the following symbols will be used: () essentially upstream (downstream) paired bases {} weakly upstream (downstream) paired bases | strongly paired bases without preference , weakly paired bases without preference . essentially unpaired bases. If <filename> is not specified, the output is written to stdout, unless the "-Xm" option is set in which case "backtrack.file" is used. Energy Parameters: Energy parameter sets can be adapted or loaded from user-pro- vided input files -T, --temp=DOUBLE Rescale energy parameters to a temperature of temp C. Default is 37C. (default=`37.0') -P, --paramFile=paramfile Read energy parameters from paramfile, instead of using the de- fault parameter set. Different sets of energy parameters for RNA and DNA should ac- company your distribution. See the RNAlib documentation for de- tails on the file format. When passing the placeholder file name "DNA", DNA parameters are loaded without the need to actually specify any input file. -4, --noTetra Do not include special tabulated stabilizing energies for tri-, tetra- and hexaloop hairpins. (default=off) Mostly for testing. --salt=DOUBLE Set salt concentration in molar (M). Default is 1.021M. Model Details: Tweak the energy model and pairing rules additionally using the following parameters -d, --dangles=INT set energy model for treatment of dangling bases. (possible values="0", "2" default=`2') --noLP Produce structures without lonely pairs (helices of length 1). (default=off) For partition function folding this only disallows pairs that can only occur isolated. Other pairs may still occasionally oc- cur as helices of length 1. --noGU Do not allow GU pairs. (default=off) --noClosingGU Do not allow GU pairs at the end of helices. (default=off) --nsp=STRING Allow other pairs in addition to the usual AU,GC,and GU pairs. Its argument is a comma separated list of additionally allowed pairs. If the first character is a "-" then AB will imply that AB and BA are allowed pairs. e.g. RNAfold -nsp -GA will allow GA and AG pairs. Nonstandard pairs are given 0 stacking energy. --energyModel=INT Set energy model. Rarely used option to fold sequences from the artificial ABCD... alphabet, where A pairs B, C-D etc. Use the energy parameters for GC (--energyModel 1) or AU (--energyModel 2) pairs. --helical-rise=FLOAT Set the helical rise of the helix in units of Angstrom. (default=`2.8') Use with caution! This value will be re-set automatically to 3.4 in case DNA parameters are loaded via -P DNA and no further value is provided. --backbone-length=FLOAT Set the average backbone length for looped regions in units of Angstrom. (default=`6.0') Use with caution! This value will be re-set automatically to 6.76 in case DNA parameters are loaded via -P DNA and no further value is provided.
