Usage on Bridges-2
To see what versions of Prodigal are available and if there is more than one, which is the default, along with some help, type
module spider prodigal
To use Prodigal, include a command like this in your batch script or interactive session to load the Prodigal module: (note ‘module load’ is case-sensitive):
module load prodigal
Usage on Bridges
To see what versions of PRODIGAL are available type
module avail prodigal
To see what other modules are needed, what commands are available and how to get additional help type
module help prodigal
To use PRODIGAL, include a command like this in your batch script or interactive session to load the prodigal module:
module load prodigal
Be sure you also load any other modules needed, as listed by the module help prodigal command.
Command line usage
prodigal [-a trans_file] [-c] [-d nuc_file] [-f output_type] [-g tr_table] [-h] [-i input_file] [-m] [-n] [-o output_file] [-p mode] [-q] [-s start_file] [-t training_file] [-v]
Options are:
| -a | Write protein translations to the selected file |
| -c | Closed ends. Do not allow genes to run off edges. |
| -d | Write nucleotide sequences of genes to the selected file. |
| -f | Select output format (gbk, gff, or sco). Default is gbk. |
| -g | Specify a translation table to use (default 11). |
| -h | Print help menu and exit. |
| -i | Specify input file (default reads from stdin). |
| -m | Treat runs of n’s as masked sequence and do not build genes across them. |
| -n | Bypass the Shine-Dalgarno trainer and force the program to scan for motifs. |
| -o | Specify output file (default writes to stdout). |
| -p | Select procedure (single or meta). Default is single. |
| -q | Run quietly (suppress normal stderr output). |
| -s | Write all potential genes (with scores) to the selected file. |
| -t | Write a training file (if none exists); otherwise, read and use the specified training file. |
| -v | Print version number and exit. |
