Wise2 at CSC


Versions

  • Wise2.2.0 software package is available in Hippu.

Description

Wise2 program contains tools for comparing protein sequences and protein profile HMMs to nucleotide sequences. Wise2 programs utilize structural gene models that enable it to cope with introns and farme shift errors.

Wise2 programs


Program Description
Main wise2 programs

 genewise  Aligns a genomic nucleotide sequence with a protein sequence or a protein profile HMM
genewisedb         
Compares a genomic nucleotide sequence agaist a set of  protein sequences  or protein profile HMMs
estwise Aligns a cDNA sequence with a protein sequence or profile HMM
estwisedb Compares a cDNA nucleotide sequence agaist a set of  protein sequences  or protein profile HMMs
 Other wise2 programs

dba
 Dna Block Aligner
 psw  Protein Smith-Waterman and other comparisons
 pswdb  protein smith waterman database searching

Using Wise2 in Hippu

The wise2 package is taken in use together with the HMMER package. The setup command is:

	module load wise2

After the setup command, Hippu recognizes  Wise2 commands. Also an environment variable HMMERDB is defined to point to the Pfam databases.

You can list the command line options of Wise2 programs by using option -help. For example:

	genewise -help

A simple comparison between a nucleotide and a protein sequece can be done with following command:

genewise protein.fasta nucleotide.fasta

Pfam database

In Hippu, you can use Pfam_ls and Pfam_fs databases with Wise2 commands. For example comparing an EST sequence against a Pfam_fs HMM-database can be performed with command:

estwisedb -pfam $HMMERDB/Pfam_fs -dnadb ESTs.fasta > results.txt
