PanGEA-SNP can be used to identify SNPs from a set of pairwise alignments which have been created with PanGEA-BlastN.
The pairwise alignments may map to different sequences and/or positions within these sequences. The number of pairwise alignments which can be analysed at once is not limited.

Minimum commands in Windows:
PanGEA-SNP -i alignments.aln

Minimum commands in Linux (Mono):
mono PanGEA-SNP.exe -i alignments.aln

Following, for sake of simplicity, only the windows commands are shown, the Linux commands have to be adjusted as shown above:.

If no output file has been specified the default output file "result.snp" is used.

Multiple input files may be specified
PanGEA-SNP -i alignments1.aln -i alignments2.aln -o snps.snp

Files containing the sequence quality of the ESTs may be specified
PanGEA-SNP -i alignments1.aln -i alignments2.aln -q quality1.qul -q quality2.qul -q quality3.qul -o snps_with_quality.snp

The minimum and the maximum number of alleles may be specified
PanGEA-SNP -i alignments.aln -minAllele 2 -maxAllele 2 -o results.snp

Whether indels should be considered as valid SNP allele may be specified PanGEA-SNP -i alignments.aln -useIndels yes -o results.snp

Whether the 454-adapted "ad hoc" solution to estimate the reliability of the SNP should be used may be specified (see publication)
PanGEA-SNP -i alignments.aln -use454 yes -o results.snp

Description of all parameters:

 

Obligatory parameters:

-i input file(s); PanGEA-BlastN pairwise alignments; obligatory parameter
   
 

Optional parameters:

-o output file; optional paramter; default: result.snp
-q quality file(s) for ESTs; *.qul, *.qual; optional parameter
-minAllele minimum number of alleles at a SNP site; optional parameter; default: 2
-maxAllele maximum number of alleles at a SNP site; optional parameter; default: 5
-mafp minimum frequency of allele at SNP site in percent; optional parameter; default: 1.5
-mafc minimum frequency of allele at SNP site in counts; optional parameter; default: 2
-mc minimum coverage of SNP site, i.e ESTs mapping to the SNP site; optional parameter; default 4
-na
neighborhood of SNP in alignments, for counting low-alignment-quality tokens;default parameter; default: 15 (bp)
-ns neighborhood of SNPs for assessing the sequence-quality in the neighborhood of SnP;
default parameter; default: 7 (bp)
-useIndels [yes/no] consider indels as valid SNP allele; optional parameter; default: no
-use454 [yes/no] use the 454-adapted ad-hoc solution for assessing the alignment-quality in the neighborhood of the SNP; optional parameter; default: no

The input files have to be valid PanGEA-BlastN or PanGEA-SW output files. The ESTs (sequences) may map to any gene/chromosome at any position. Multiple files can be specified

The quality files have to be the common mulitple fasta-like files. Make sure that the quality files are of the same length as the original ESTs used for PanGEA-BlastN search, otherwise errors or wrong quality estimates will result. Furthermore the quality file has to exist for each EST, otherwise again an error will result
