Create a distance matrix from a multiple sequence alignment
distmat -sequence seqset -nucmethod list -protmethod list -ambiguous boolean -gapweight float -position integer -calculatea boolean -parametera float -outfile outfile distmat -help
distmat is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Phylogeny:Molecular sequence" command group(s).
-sequence seqset
File containing a sequence alignment.
-nucmethod list
Multiple substitution correction methods for nucleotides.
-protmethod list
Multiple substitution correction methods for proteins.
-ambiguous boolean
Option to use the ambiguous codes in the calculation of the Jukes-Cantor method or if the sequences are proteins. Default value: N
-gapweight float
Option to weight gaps in the uncorrected (nucleotide) and Jukes-Cantor distance methods. Default value: 0.
-position integer
Choose base positions to analyse in each codon i.e. 123 (all bases), 12 (the first two bases), 1, 2, or 3 individual bases. Default value: 123
-calculatea boolean
This will force the calculation of parameter 'a' in the Jin-Nei Gamma distance calculation, otherwise the default is 1.0 (see -parametera option). Default value: N
-parametera float
User defined parameter 'a' to be use in the Jin-Nei Gamma distance calculation. The suggested value to be used is 1.0 (Jin et al.) and this is the default. Default value: 1.0
-outfile outfile
Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031).
distmat is fully documented via the tfm(1) system.
