-pdomevalcutoff [value]

  global E-value cutoff for pHMM search default 1E-6

-pdomcutoff […]

  force recreation of hmmpressed profiles (default: no)

-pbsmatchscore [value]

  match score for PBS/tRNA alignments (default: 5)

-pbsmismatchscore [value]

  mismatch score for PBS/tRNA alignments (default: -10)

-pbsinsertionscore [value]

  insertion score for PBS/tRNA alignments (default: -20)

-pbsdeletionscore [value]

  deletion score for PBS/tRNA alignments (default: -20)

-v [yes|no]

  be verbose (default: no)

-o [filename]

  redirect output to specified file (default: undefined)

-gzip [yes|no]

  write gzip compressed output file (default: no)

-bzip2 [yes|no]

  write bzip2 compressed output file (default: no)

-force [yes|no]

  force writing to output file (default: no)

-seqfile [filename]

  set the sequence file from which to take the sequences (default: undefined)

-encseq [filename]

  set the encoded sequence indexname from which to take the sequences (default: undefined)

-seqfiles

  set the sequence files from which to extract the features use -- to terminate the list of sequence files

-matchdesc [yes|no]

  search the sequence descriptions from the input files for the desired sequence IDs (in GFF3), reporting the first match (default: no)

-matchdescstart [yes|no]

  exactly match the sequence descriptions from the input files for the desired sequence IDs (in GFF3) from the beginning to the first whitespace (default: no)

-usedesc [yes|no]

  use sequence descriptions to map the sequence IDs (in GFF3) to actual sequence entries. If a description contains a sequence range (e.g., III:1000001..2000000), the first part is used as sequence ID (III) and the first range position as offset (1000001) (default: no)
