The output is a standard EMBOSS alignment file.
The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -aformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. Some of the alignment formats can cope with an unlimited number of sequences, while others are only for pairs of sequences.
The available multiple alignment format names are: unknown, multiple, simple, fasta, msf, trace, srs
The available pairwise alignment format names are: pair, markx0, markx1, markx2, markx3, markx10, srspair, score
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/AlignFormats.html for further information on alignment formats.
The output alignment is in simple format by default.

The file 'wordfinder.error' will contain any errors that occured during the program. This may be that wordmatch could not find any matches hence no suitable start point is found for the smith-waterman calculation.
EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.
To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
% embossdata -showall
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:
% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat
Users can provide their own data files in their own directories. Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
The directories are searched in the following order:
Because it does a Smith & Waterman alignment (albeit in a narrow region around the diagonal shown to be the 'best' by a word match), this program can use huge amounts of memory if the sequences are large.
Because the alignment is made within a narrow area each side of the 'best' diagonal, if there are sufficient indels between the two sequences, then the path of the Smith & Waterman alignment can wander outside of this area. Making the width larger can avoid this problem, but you then use more memory.
The longer the sequences and the wider the specified alignment width, the more memory will be used.
If the program terminates due to lack of memory you can try the following:
Run the UNIX command 'limit' to see if your stack or memory usage have been limited and if so, run 'unlimit', (e.g.: '% unlimit stacksize').
Program name | Description |
---|---|
matcher | Finds the best local alignments between two sequences |
seqmatchall | All-against-all comparison of a set of sequences |
supermatcher | Match large sequences against one or more other sequences |
water | Smith-Waterman local alignment |
wordmatch | Finds all exact matches of a given size between 2 sequences |
