Parameters and input data

Parameters

The program uses follow parameters:
Parameter Sence Recommended values
Start word length Start length of motiff for Multiple sequence alignment.
This value will be reduced on algorithm steps
10..20
Max N Mismatches Number of mismatches allowed for motiff search in Multiple sequence alignment about 40% of Start Word length
This value will be reduced on algorithm steps
Min score Minimal Z-score that wiil be taken into account 2.0 .. 2.5
Gap parameter This parameter defines gap scoring.
the grater this value is the stronger gap will be panalysed
0.5 .. 1.5
Min information Minimum of information content of colomn.
If inforation content of a column is less than given value the column should be not included into alignment.
the grater this value is the stronger gap will be panalysed
0.5 .. 1.5
Iterations Number of iterations for profile refining 2 .. 5
Max loop Max energy of a helix 5 .. 6
Min Energy Minimal energy of a helix. Calculated using approximated table:
A C G T
A -8 0 -8 2
C 0 -8 3 -8
G -8 3 -8 1
T 2 -8 1 -8
5.0 .. 6.5

Sequence Format

The server works with sequences in FASTA format.
