sand_align_kernel reads a list of sequences from the given input file, or from standard input if none is given. The sequences are in the compressed fasta format produced by sand_compress_reads(1). The first sequence in the input is compared against all following sequences until a separator line. Following the separator, the next sequence is compared against all following sequences until the following separator, and so on.
-a <sw|ps|banded> | |
Specify the type of alignment: sw (Smith-Waterman), ps (Prefix-Suffix), or banded. If not specified, default is banded. | |
-o <ovl|ovl_new|align|matrix> | |
Specify how each alignment should be output: ovl (Celera V5, V6 OVL format), ovl_new (Celera V7 overlap format), align (display the sequences and alignment graphically) or matrix (display the dynamic programming matrix). sand_align_master(1) expects the ovl output format, which is the default. The other formats are useful for debugging. | |
-m <length> | |
Minimum aligment length (default: 0). | |
-q <quality> | |
Minimum match quality (default: 1.00) | |
-x | Delete input file after completion. |
-d <subsystem> | |
Enable debugging for this subsystem. (Try -d all to start. | |
-v | Show program version. |
-h | Display this message. |
