NAME

pxnw - conduct Needleman-Wunsch analysis for all the seqs in a file

SYNOPSIS

pxnw [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

Conduct Needleman-Wunsch analysis for all the seqs in a file. This will take fasta, fastq, phylip, and nexus formats from a file or STDIN. Output is a list of the scores and distances (and the alignments if asked).

OPTIONS

-s, --seqf=FILE: input sequence file, STDIN otherwise

-a, --outalnf=FILE: output sequence file, won't output otherwise

-t, --seqtype=INT: sequence type, default=DNA (DNA=0,AA=1)

-m, --matrix=FILE: scoring matrix, default DNA=EDNAFULL, AA=BLOSUM62

-n, --nthreads=INT: number of threads (open mp), default=2

-v, --verbose: make the output more verbose, turns off parallel

-o, --outf=FILE: output score/distance file, STOUT otherwise

-h, --help: display this help and exit

-V, --version: display version and exit

-C, --citation: display phyx citation and exit
