NAME

       makemat - convert binary profiles into portable ASCII form

SYNOPSIS

       makemat [-] [-E N] [-G N] [-H] [-P filename] [-S X] [-U str] [-d str] [-z N]

DESCRIPTION

       makemat converts a collection of binary profiles, created by the -C option of PSI-BLAST, into portable ASCII form.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -      Print usage message

       -E N   Cost to extend a gap (default = 1)

       -G N   Cost to open a gap (default = 11)

       -H     Print help; overrides all other arguments

       -P filename
	      Database name for profile database (default = stdin)

       -S X   Scaling factor for matrix outputs to avoid round-off problems (default = 100)

       -U str Underlying Matrix (default = BLOSUM62)

       -d str Underlying sequence database used to make profiles (default = nr)

       -z N   Effective length of the profile database (0 for length of -d option)

NAME

       fastacmd - retrieve FASTA sequences from a BLAST database

SYNOPSIS

       fastacmd [-] [-D N] [-I] [-L start,stop] [-P N] [-S N] [-T] [-a] [-c] [-d str] [-i str] [-l N] [-o filename] [-p type] [-s str] [-t]

DESCRIPTION

       fastacmd retrieves FASTA formatted sequences from a blast(1) database formatted using the `-o' option.  An example fastacmd call would be

								fastacmd -d nr -s p38398

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -      Print usage message

       -D N   Dump the entire database in some format:
	      1      fasta
	      2      GI list
	      3      Accession.version list

       -I     Print database information only (overrides all other options)

       -L start,stop
	      Range of sequence to extract (0 in start is beginning of sequence, 0 in stop is end of sequence, default is whole sequence)

       -P N   Retrieve sequences with Protein Identification Group (PIG) N.

       -S N   Strand on subsequence (nucleotide only):
	      1      top (default)
	      2      bottom

       -T     Print taxonomic information for requested sequence(s)

       -a     Retrieve duplicate accessions

       -c     Use ^A (01) as non-redundant defline separator

       -d str Database (default is nr)

       -i str Input file with GIs/accessions/loci for batch retrieval

       -l N   Line length for sequence (default = 80)

       -o filename
	      Output file (default = stdout)

       -p type
	      Type of file:
	      G      guess (default): look for protein, then nucleotide
	      T      protein
	      F      nucleotide

       -s str Comma-delimited search string(s).  GIs, accessions, loci, or fullSeq-id strings may be used, e.g., 555, AC147927, 'gnl|dbname|tag'

       -t     Definition line should contain target GI only

EXIT STATUS

	      0      Completed successfully.
	      1      An error (other than those below) occurred.
	      2      The BLAST database was not found.
	      3      A search (accession, GI, or taxonomy info) failed.
	      4      No taxonomy database was found.
