# tigr-glimmer(1)

runs various programs of the TIGR Glimmer suite

## NAME

tigr-glimmer - runs various programs of the TIGR Glimmer suite

## SYNOPSIS

**tigr-glimmer** **program** \[arguments\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **tigr-glimmer** wrapper to the TIGR Glimmer programs. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because upstream does not provide this wrapper and it was invented for Debian to avoid conflicts with other packages that might cause a name space pollution.

**tigr-glimmer** is just a wrapper that invokes the various programs in the TIGR Glimmer software package. You can get more detailed documentation in /usr/share/doc/tigr-glimmer.  Please note that the documentation there is a part of the former version Glimmer 2.  The version Glimmer 3 has some features that were described in the notes.pdf document inside the documentation directory.

The following programs are included: anomaly, build-fixed, build-icm, entropy-profile, entropy-score, extract, glimmer3, long-orfs, multi-extract, score-fixed, start-codon-distrib, test, uncovered and window-acgt.

## OPTIONS

There are no options.

## EXAMPLES

- tigr-glimmer build-icm

  - tigr-glimmer long-orfs

  ## SEE ALSO

For the pre previously packaged version Glimmer2 some text files from the documentation were turned to man pages for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution by Steffen Moeller \<moeller@debian.org\>\
