dawg(1) DNA assembly with gaps, a DNA sequence simulator

DESCRIPTION

dawg 1.2-release DNA Assembly With Gaps Copyright © 2004-2009 Reed A. Cartwright

dawg -[scubvhqew?] [-o outputfile] file1 [file2...]

-s: process files serially [default]
-c: process files combined together
-u: unbuffered output
-b: buffered output [default]
-q: disable error and warning reports (quiet)
-e: enable error reports [default]
-w: enable warning reports [default]
-v: display version information
-h: display help information
-?: same as -h
-o outputfile: override output filename in the configuration file
Dawg will read stdin if filename is "-".

FILE FORMAT

The file format takes a series of statements in the form of "name = value," where "name" is alphanumeric and value can be a string, number, boolean, tree, or vector of values. A single variable is equivalent to a vector of a single entry.

string: "[char-sequence]"

'[char-sequence]' """[multi-line char-sequence]""" (rm initial and final newlines) '''[multi-line char-sequence]''' (kp initial and final newlines)

number: [sign]digits[.digits][(e|E)[sign]digits] boolean: true|false tree: Newick Format vector: { value, value, ...}
