DESCRIPTION

dan

OPTIONS

Input section

-sequence seqall

Required section

-windowsize integer

The values of melting point and other thermodynamic properties of the sequence are determined by taking a short length of sequence known as a window and determining the properties of the sequence in that window. The window is incrementally moved along the sequence with the properties being calculated at each new position. Default value: 20

-shiftincrement integer

This is the amount by which the window is moved at each increment in order to find the melting point and other properties along the sequence. Default value: 1

-dnaconc float

Default value: 50.

-saltconc float

Default value: 50.

Additional section

Product options

-product toggle

This prompts for percent formamide, percent of mismatches allowed and product length.

-formamide float

This specifies the percent formamide to be used in calculations (it is ignored unless -product is used). Default value: 0.

-mismatch float

This specifies the percent mismatch to be used in calculations (it is ignored unless -product is used). Default value: 0.

-prodlen integer

This specifies the product length to be used in calculations (it is ignored unless -product is used). Default value: $(windowsize)

Thermodynamic options

-thermo toggle

Output the DeltaG, DeltaH and DeltaS values of the sequence windows to the output data file.

-temperature float

If -thermo has been specified then this specifies the temperature at which to calculate the DeltaG, DeltaH and DeltaS values. Default value: 25.

Advanced section

-rna boolean

This specifies that the sequence is an RNA sequence and not a DNA sequence.

Output section

-plot toggle

If this is not specified then the file of output data is produced, else a plot of the melting point along the sequence is produced.

-mintemp float

Enter a minimum value for the temperature scale (y-axis) of the plot. Default value: 55.

-graph xygraph

-outfile report

If a plot is not being produced then data on the melting point etc. in each window along the sequence is output to the file.
