🌸 Input section

  • -asequence seqset β€” your first sequence set goes here, bestie. drop it in. πŸ“
  • -bsequence seqall β€” and here's the second one, the other half of the duo. it's giving main character energy for both of them, honestly. ✨

πŸ‘‘ Required section

  • -wordsize integer β€” the size of the words she's matching on. Default value: 4. you HAVE to give her this one, she's not playing around, it's in the required section for a reason periodt πŸ’…

πŸ’œ Output section

  • -dumpalign toggle β€” whether she dumps the alignment. Default value: Y. yes girl, give us the align. πŸ”₯

  • -dumpfeat toggle β€” whether she dumps the features. Default value: Y. features: dumped. iconic. πŸ‘‘
  • -aoutfeat featout β€” the feature output file for your -asequence side. πŸŽ€
