- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-
- <para><command>Sigma</command> ("Simple greedy multiple alignment") is an alignment program with a new algorithm and scoring scheme designed specifically for non-coding DNA sequence. It uses a strategy of seeking the best possible gapless local alignments, at each step making the best possible alignment consistent with existing alignments, and scores the significance of the alignment based on the lengths of the aligned fragments and a background model which may be supplied or estimated from an auxiliary file of intergenic DNA. With real data, while "correctness" can't be directly quantified for the alignment, running the PhyloGibbs motif finder on pre-aligned sequence suggests that Sigma's alignments are superior.</para>

- <title>MORE HELP</title>
- <para>
- The "significance" parameter (<option>-x</option>) determines whether local alignments are accepted or rejected. The default at present is 0.002. Experiments on synthetic data (described in the paper) suggest that 0.002 is about the threshold where sigma fails to align phylogenetically-unrelated data that has moderate (yeast-like) dinucleotide correlation.
- </para>
- <para>
- Using a <quote>background model</quote> appropriate to the sequences being aligned greatly reduces spurious alignments on synthetic data (and, one hopes, on real data too). The simplest way to ensure this is to supply, via the <option>-b</option> parameter, a FASTA-format file containing large quantities of similar sequence data (eg, if one is aligning yeast sequences, supply a file containing all intergenic yeast sequence).
- </para>
- <para>
- Instead of this, if the single-site and dinucleotide frequencies are known already, they may be supplied in a file via the <option>-B</option> option. The file format should be: one entry per line, with the mononucleotide or dinucleotide (case-insensitive) followed by the frequency. (eg, "A 0.3", "AT 0.16", etc on successive lines.) A sample file is in the "Background" subdirectory of the source distribution (on Debian systems, this file can be found in the <filename>/usr/share/doc/sigma-align/Background</filename> directory). A file like "yeast.nc.3.freq" in the "tests" subdirectory of the MEME source distribution works fine (trinucleotide counts are ignored).
