NAME

       lutefisk - software for the de novo interpretation of peptide CID spectra

SYNOPSIS

       lutefisk [-q ] [ -m ] [ -d] [ -p ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -v] [ -h]  [-o ] <infile>

DESCRIPTION

       lutefisk  is  a software for the de novo interpretation of peptide CID spectra. It takes peptide CID data
       and some ancillary data files (of which the location is specified on the  command  line)  and  outputs  a
       results file containing all the sequences hypothetically matching the CID data.

       When  you  invoke lutefisk with the -h option, the program lists to the command line all the options that
       are available.

OPTIONS

       -h     Print a list of options

       -q     Run in quiet mode

       -m     Precursor ion mass

       -d     Pathname to the details file

       -p     Pathname to the params file

       -r     Pathname to the residues file

       -s     Pathname to the file with database sequences to score

       -v     Run in verbose mode

       -o     Output file

       <infile>
              CID data file

PROGRAM DATA

       The data required to run the program are located in /usr/share/lutefisk.

EXAMPLE DATA

       Example data are located in /usr/share/doc/lutefisk/examples.
