💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

polydot is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). no cap, that's the whole vibe. it's part of the "Alignment:Dot plots" command group(s). so like, it hangs out with the other dot plot girlies. 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

🌈 Input section

  • -sequences seqset — a file containing a sequence alignment. that's your material, bestie, bring it. 🍓

⭐ Required section

  • -wordsize integer — Default value: 6. yes it's required, no you cannot skip it, periodt.

💜 Output section

  • -gap integer — this one specifies the size of the gap that's used to separate the individual dotplots in the display. it's measured in residues, as displayed in the output. Default value: 10. so your lil plots don't touch, they get personal space. 🫶
  • -boxit boolean — Default value: Y
  • -dumpfeat toggle — Default value: N
  • -outfeat featout
  • -graph graph

😭 BUGS 😭
