Inputsection-asequencesequence-bsequenceseqall-datafilematrixf
           This is the scoring matrix file used when comparing sequences. By default it is the file 'EBLOSUM62'
           (for proteins) or the file 'EDNAFULL' (for nucleic sequences). These files are found in the 'data'
           directory of the EMBOSS installation.

   Requiredsection-gapopenfloat
           The gap open penalty is the score taken away when a gap is created. The best value depends on the
           choice of comparison matrix. The default value assumes you are using the EBLOSUM62 matrix for protein
           sequences, and the EDNAFULL matrix for nucleotide sequences. Default value: @($(acdprotein)? 10.0 :
           10.0)

       -gapextendfloat
           The gap extension penalty is added to the standard gap penalty for each base or residue in the gap.
           This is how long gaps are penalized. Usually you will expect a few long gaps rather than many short
           gaps, so the gap extension penalty should be lower than the gap penalty. An exception is where one or
           both sequences are single reads with possible sequencing errors in which case you would expect many
           single base gaps. You can get this result by setting the gap open penalty to zero (or very low) and
           using the gap extension penalty to control gap scoring. Default value: @($(acdprotein)? 0.5 : 0.5)
