NAME

alter-sequence-alignment - genomic sequences ALignment Transformation EnviRonment

SYNOPSIS

alter-sequence-alignment [option] [sequence]

DESCRIPTION

ALTER (ALignment Transformation EnviRonment) is a tool to transform
between multiple sequence alignment formats. ALTER focuses on the
specifications of mainstream alignment and analysis programs rather than
on the conversion among more or less specific formats.

OPTIONS

-c (--collapse)

Collapse sequences to haplotypes.

-cg (--collapseGaps)

Treat gaps as missing data when collapsing.

-cl (--collapseLimit) N

Connection limit (sequences differing at <= l sites will be collapsed) (default is l=0).

-cm (--collapseMissing)

Count missing data as differences when collapsing.

-i (--input) FILE

Input file.

-ia (--inputAutodetect)

Autodetect format (other input options are omitted).

-if (--inputFormat) VAL

Input format (ALN, FASTA, GDE, MEGA, MSF, NEXUS, PHYLIP or PIR).

-io (--inputOS) VAL

Input operating system (Linux, MacOS or Windows)

-o (--output) FILE

Output file.

-of (--outputFormat) VAL

Output format (ALN, FASTA, GDE, MEGA, MSF, NEXUS, PHYLIP or PIR).
