stellar - the SwifT Exact LocaL AligneR

       STELLAR  implements  the  SWIFT filter algorithm (Rasmussen et al., 2006) and a verification step for the
       SWIFT hits that applies local alignment, gapped X-drop extension, and extraction of the longest  epsilon-
       match.

       Input to STELLAR are two files, each containing one or more sequences in FASTA format. Each sequence from
       file  1  will be compared to each sequence in file 2. The sequences from file 1 are used as database, the
       sequences from file 2 as queries.

              Display version information.

   MainOptions:-e, --epsilonDOUBLE
              Maximal error rate (max 0.25). In range [0.0000001..0.25]. Default: 0.05.

       -l, --minLengthINTEGER
              Minimal length of epsilon-matches. In range [0..inf]. Default: 100.

       -f, --forward
              Search only in forward strand of database.

       -r, --reverse
              Search only in reverse complement of database.

       -a, --alphabetSTRING
              Alphabet type of input sequences (dna, rna, dna5, rna5, protein, char). One  of  dna,  dna5,  rna,
              rna5, protein, and char.

       -v, --verbose
              Set verbosity mode.

   FilteringOptions:-k, --kmerINTEGER
              Length of the q-grams (max 32). In range [1..32].

       -rp, --repeatPeriodINTEGER
              Maximal period of low complexity repeats to be filtered. Default: 1.

       -rl, --repeatLengthINTEGER
              Minimal length of low complexity repeats to be filtered. Default: 1000.

              longest ones are kept. Default: 50.

       -s, --sortThreshINTEGER
              Number of matches triggering removal of duplicates. Choose  a  smaller  value  for  saving  space.
