This is the command kalign that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
kalign - performs multiple alignment of biological sequences.
SYNOPSIS
kalign [infile.fasta] [outfile.fasta] [Options]
kalign [-i infile.fasta] [-o outfile.fasta] [Options]
kalign [< infile.fasta] [> outfile.fasta] [Options]
DESCRIPTION
Kalign is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of biological sequences. It
employs the Muth?Manber string-matching algorithm, to improve both the accuracy and speed
of the alignment. It uses global, progressive alignment approach, enriched by employing an
approximate string-matching algorithm to calculate sequence distances and by incorporating
local matches into the otherwise global alignment.
OPTIONS
-s -gpo -gapopen -gap_open x
Gap open penalty .
-e -gpe -gap_ext -gapextension x
Gap extension penalty.
-t -tgpe -terminal_gap_extension_penalty x
Terminal gap penalties.
-m -bonus -matrix_bonus x
A constant added to the substitution matrix.
-c -sort <input, tree, gaps.>
The order in which the sequences appear in the output alignment.
-g -feature
Selects feature mode and specifies which features are to be used: e.g. all, maxplp,
STRUCT, PFAM-A?

-z -zcutoff
Parameter used in the wu-manber based distance calculation.
-i -in -input
Name of the input file.
-o -out -output
Name of the output file.
-a -gap_inc
Increases gap penalties depending on the number of existing gaps.
-f -format <fasta, msf, aln, clu, macsim>
The output format.
-q -quiet
Print nothing to STDERR. Read nothing from STDIN.
