Inputsection-modelist
This option specifies the mode of SEQSEARCH operation. SEQSEARCH takes as input a directory of either
i. single sequences, ii. set of sequences (unaligned or aligned, but typically aligned sequences
within a domain alignment file)). The user has to specify which. Default value: 1
-inseqspathdirlist
This option specifies the location of sequences, e.g. DAF files (domain alignment files) (input).
SEQSEARCH takes as input a database of either i. single sequences, ii. sets of unaligned sequences or
iii. sets of aligned sequences, e.g. a domain alignment file. A 'domain alignment file' contains a
sequence alignment of domains belonging to the same SCOP or CATH family. The file is in clustal
format annotated with domain family classification information. The files generated by using
SCOPALIGN will contain a structure-based sequence alignment of domains of known structure only. Such
alignments can be extended with sequence relatives (of unknown structure) by using SEQALIGN. Default
value: ./
-databasestring
Default value: swissprot
Requiredsection-niterinteger
This option specifies the number of PSIBLAST iterations. This option specifies the number of PSIBLAST
iterations that are performed in a search. Default value: 1
-evaluefloat
This option specifies the threshold E-value for inclusion in family. This option specifies the
threshold E-value for a PSIBLAST hit to be retained. Default value: 0.001
-maxhitsinteger
This option specifies the maximum number of hits. This option specifies the maximum number of
PSIBLAST hit that are retained. It should normally be set high so that nothing is discarded. Default
value: 1000
Outputsection-dhfoutdiroutdir
This option specifies the location of DHF files (domain hits files) (output). A 'domain hits file'
contains database hits (sequences) with domain classification information, in FASTA format. The hits
are relatives to a SCOP or CATH family and are found from a search of a sequence database. Files
containing hits retrieved by PSIBLAST are generated by using SEQSEARCH. Default value: ./
-logfileoutfile
This option specifies the name of log file for the build. The log file contains messages about any
errors arising while SEQSEARCH ran. Default value: seqsearch.log
