RNAALIDUPLEX(1) User Commands RNAALIDUPLEX(1) NAME RNAaliduplex - manual page for RNAaliduplex 2.7.2 SYNOPSIS RNAaliduplex [options] <file1.aln> <file2.aln> DESCRIPTION RNAaliduplex 2.7.2 Predict conserved RNA-RNA interactions between two alignments The program reads two alignments of RNA sequences in CLUSTAL format and predicts optimal and suboptimal binding sites, hybridization energies and the corresponding structures. The calculation takes only inter-molecular base pairs into account, for the general case use RNAcofold. The use of alignments allows one to focus on binding sites that are evolutionary con- served. Note, that the two input alignments need to have equal number of sequences and the same order, i.e. the 1st sequence in file1 will be hy- bridized to the 1st in file2 etc. The computed binding sites, energies, and structures are written to stdout, one structure per line. Each line consist of: The structure in dot bracket format with a "&" separating the two strands. The range of the structure in the two sequences in the format "from,to : from,to"; the energy of duplex structure in kcal/mol. The format is especially useful for computing the hybrid structure between a small probe sequence and a long target sequence. -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. Algorithms: Select additional algorithms which should be included in the calcu- lations. -e, --deltaEnergy=range Compute suboptimal structures with energy in a certain range of the optimum (kcal/mol). Default is calculation of mfe structure only. -s, --sorted Sort output by free energy. (default=off) Energy Parameters: Energy parameter sets can be adapted or loaded from user-provided 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 default parameter set. Different sets of energy parameters for RNA and DNA should accompany your distribution. See the RNAlib documentation for details on the file format. The placeholder file name 'DNA' can be used to load DNA parameters 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. --saltInit=DOUBLE Provide salt correction for duplex initialization (in kcal/mol). Model Details: Tweak the energy model and pairing rules additionally using the fol- lowing parameters -d, --dangles=INT How to treat "dangling end" energies for bases adjacent to helices in free ends and multi-loops. (default=`2') With -d1 only unpaired bases can participate in at most one dangling end. With -d2 this check is ignored, dangling energies will be added for the bases adjacent to a helix on both sides in any case; this is the default for mfe and partition function folding (-p). The option -d0 ignores dangling ends altogether (mostly for debug- ging). With -d3 mfe folding will allow coaxial stacking of adjacent helices in multi-loops. At the moment the implementation will not allow coaxial stacking of the two enclosed pairs in a loop of degree 3 and works only for mfe folding. Note that with -d1 and -d3 only the MFE computations will be using this setting while partition function uses -d2 setting, i.e. dan- gling ends will be treated differently. --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 occur as he- lices 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. --nsp="-GA" will allow GA and AG pairs. Nonstandard pairs are given 0 stacking energy. --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. --log-level=level Set log level threshold. (default=`2') By default, any log messages are filtered such that only warnings (level 2) or errors (level 3) are printed. This setting allows 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. (default=`RNAalidu- plex.log') --log-time Include time stamp in log messages. (default=off) --log-call Include file and line of log calling function.
