ProbKnot is used to predict a maximum expected accuracy structure that can contain pseudoknots.
USAGE: ProbKnot <input file> <ct file> [options]
<input file> |
The name of a file containing input data. This input data can
be in one of two formats:
-
Partition function save file (holds base pairing
probability data for all pairs)
-
Sequence file (holds a sequence: .seq or .fasta)
Note that in order to use a sequence file, the "sequence"
flag must be specified (see "--sequence" below).
|
<ct file> |
The name of a CT file to which output will be written. |
-d, -D, --DNA |
This flag only matters if the input file is a squence file
and has been identified as such (see "--sequence" below).
Specify that the sequence is DNA, and DNA parameters are to
be used.
Default is to use RNA parameters.
|
-h, -H, --help |
Display the usage details message. |
--sequence |
Identify the input file as a sequence file. |
-i, -I, --iterations |
Specify the number of iterations the calculation
will undergo. More iterations can result in more predicted pairs, although a single iteration is generally sufficient.
Default is 1 iteration.
|
-m, -M, minimum |
Specify the minimum length accepted for a helix. A post-processing filter removes short helices.
Default is 3 base pairs.
