hmmlogo - Man Page

produce a conservation logo graphic from a profile

Synopsis

hmmlogo [options] hmmfile

Description

hmmlogo computes letter height and indel parameters that can be used to  produce a profile HMM logo. This tool is essentially a  command-line interface for much of the data underlying the Skylign  logo server (skylign.org).

By default, hmmlogo prints out a table of per-position letter heights (dependent on the  requested height method), then prints a table of per-position gap probabilities.

In a typical logo, the total height of a stack of letters for one position depends on the information content of the position, and  that stack height is subdivided according to the emission  probabilities of the letters of the alphabet.

Options

-h

Help; print a brief reminder of command line usage and all available options.

--height_relent_all

Total height = relative entropy (aka information content); all letters  are given a positive height.  (default)

--height_relent_abovebg

Total height = relative entropy (aka information content); only letters  with above-background probability are given positive height.

--height_score

Total height = sums of scores of positive-scoring letters; letter height depends on the score of that letter at that position. Only  letters with above-background probability (positive score) are  given positive height. (Note that only letter height is meaningful - stack height has no inherent meaning).

--no_indel

Don't print out the indel probability table.
