NAME
run_sepp.py - a phylogenetic placement tool
DESCRIPTION
usage: run_sepp.py [-h] [-v] [-A N] [-P N] [-F N] [-D DISTANCE] [-M DIAMETER]
[-S DECOMP] [-p DIR] [-rt] [-o OUTPUT] [-d OUTPUT_DIR] [-c CONFIG] [-t TREE] [-r RAXML] [-a ALIGN]
[-f FRAG] [-m MOLECULE] [--ignore-overlap] [-x N] [-cp CHCK_FILE] [-cpi N] [-seed N]
This script runs the SEPP algorithm on an input tree, alignment, fragment file, and RAxML info file.
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-v, --version
show program's version number and exit
DECOMPOSITION OPTIONS:
These options determine the alignment decomposition size and taxon insertion size. If None is
given, then the default is to align/place at 10% of total taxa. The alignment decomosition size
must be less than the taxon insertion size.
-A N, --alignmentSize N
max alignment subset size of N [default: 10% of the total number of taxa or the placement subset
size if given]
-P N, --placementSize N
max placement subset size of N [default: 10% of the total number of taxa or the alignment length
(whichever bigger)]
-F N, --fragmentChunkSize N
maximum fragment chunk size of N. Helps controlling memory. [default: 20000]
-D DISTANCE, --distance DISTANCE
minimum p-distance before stopping the decomposition[default: 1]
-M DIAMETER, --diameter DIAMETER
maximum tree diameter before stopping the decomposition[default: None]
-S DECOMP, --decomp_strategy DECOMP
decomposition strategy [default: using tree branch length]
OUTPUT OPTIONS:
These options control output.
-p DIR, --tempdir DIR
Tempfile files will be written to DIR. Full-path required. [default: /tmp/sepp]
-rt, --remtemp
Remove tempfile directory. [default: disabled]
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
output files with prefix OUTPUT. [default: output]
-d OUTPUT_DIR, --outdir OUTPUT_DIR
output to OUTPUT_DIR directory. full-path required. [default: .]
INPUT OPTIONS:
These options control input. To run SEPP the following is required. A backbone tree (in newick
format), a RAxML_info file (this is the file generated by RAxML during estimation of the backbone
tree. Pplacer uses this info file to set model parameters), a backbone alignment file (in fasta
format), and a fasta file including fragments. The input sequences are assumed to be DNA unless
specified otherwise.
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
A config file, including options used to run SEPP. Options provided as command line arguments
override config file values for those options. [default: None]
-t TREE, --tree TREE
Input tree file (newick format) [default: None]
-r RAXML, --raxml RAXML
RAxML_info file including model parameters, generated by RAxML.[default: None]
-a ALIGN, --alignment ALIGN
Aligned fasta file [default: None]
-f FRAG, --fragment FRAG
fragment file [default: None]
-m MOLECULE, --molecule MOLECULE
Molecule type of sequences. Can be amino, dna, or rna [default: dna]
--ignore-overlap
When a query sequence has the same name as a backbone sequence, ignore the query sequences and
keep the backbone sequence[default: False]
OTHER OPTIONS:
These options control how SEPP is run
-x N, --cpu N
Use N cpus [default: number of cpus available on the machine]
-cp CHCK_FILE, --checkpoint CHCK_FILE
checkpoint file [default: no checkpointing]
-cpi N, --interval N
Interval (in seconds) between checkpoint writes. Has effect only with -cp provided. [default:
3600]
-seed N, --randomseed N
random seed number. [default: 297834]
