       RNAaliduplex - manual page for RNAaliduplex 2.7.0

SYNOPSIS
       RNAaliduplex [options] <file1.aln> <file2.aln>

DESCRIPTION
       RNAaliduplex 2.7.0

       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-mol-
       ecular base pairs into account, for the general case use	RNAcofold. The
       use of alignments allows	one to focus on	binding	sites that are	evolu-
       tionary	conserved.  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 hybridized	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  se-
       quence 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
	      calculations.

       -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-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.	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
	      following	parameters

       -d, --dangles=INT
	      How  to  treat "dangling end" energies for bases adjacent	to he-
	      lices in free ends and multi-loops.

	      (default=`2')

	      With -d1 only unpaired bases can participate in at most one dan-
	      gling 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 debugging).  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  en-
	      closed  pairs in a loop of degree	3 and works only for mfe fold-
	      ing.

	      Note that	with -d1 and -d3 only the MFE computations will	be us-
	      ing this setting while partition function	uses -d2 setting, i.e.
	      dangling 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 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.	--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 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=`RNAaliduplex.log')

       --log-time
	      Include time stamp in log	messages.

	      (default=off)

       --log-call
	      Include file and line of log calling function.

	      (default=off)
