| ## EMBOSS: ednapars

# Program ednapars

## Function

Conversion of PHYLIP's dnapars

## Description

EDNAPARS -- Embossified DNA Parsimony Program

Phylip dnapars documentation.

## Usage

Here is a sample session with ednapars using test data:-

       5   13
    Alpha     AACGUGGCCAAAU
    Beta      AAGGUCGCCAAAC
    Gamma     CAUUUCGUCACAA
    Delta     GGUAUUUCGGCCU
    Epsilon   GGGAUCUCGGCCC

    % ednapars test

    DNA parsimony algorithm
    Output file [ednapars.outfile]: stdout
    Randomize input order of species [N]:
    Create a tree file [Y]:
    Output treefile name [ednapars.treefile]:

    One most parsimonious tree found:

               +--Epsilon
            +--4
         +--3  +--Delta
         !  !
      +--2  +-----Gamma
      !  !
    --1  +--------Beta
      !
      +-----------Alpha

      remember: this is an unrooted tree!

    requires a total of     19.000

    % more more ednapars.treefile
    ((((Epsilon,Delta),Gamma),Beta),Alpha);

## Command line arguments

       Mandatory qualifiers (* if not always prompted):
      [-msf]               seqset     File containing a sequence allignment
      [-outfile]           outfile    Output file name
    *  -random             bool       Randomize input order of species
    *  -randseed           integer    Random number seed (must be odd)
    *  -randtimes          integer    How many times to randomise
    *  -outgnum            integer    number of the outgroup
    *  -valthresh          float      threshold value
      [-[no]trout]         bool       Create a tree file
    *  -treefile           outfile    Tree file name

       Optional qualifiers:
       -[no]besttree       bool       Search for best tree
       -og                 bool       Outgroup root
       -printdata          bool       Print out the data at start of run
       -progress           bool       Print indications of progress of run
       -steps              bool       Print out steps in each site
       -seqatnodes         bool       Print sequences at all nodes of tree
       -[no]drawtree       bool       Draw tree

       Advanced qualifiers:
       -thresh             bool       Use Threshold parsimony
