GREMLIN_CPP v1.0

Installation

$ g++ -O3 -std=c++0x -o gremlin_cpp gremlin_cpp.cpp -fopenmp

invoke -fopenmp to allow usage of multiple CPU(s), the code is openmp friendly.

Usage

Note, openmp uses the system variable OMP_NUM_THREADS to decide how many threads/CPU(s) to use.

$ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=16
$ ./gremlin_cpp -i alignment_file -o results

parsing output

i j raw apc ii jj
i = index i
j = index j
raw = l2norm(W)
apc = raw - mean(row) * mean(col) / mean(all)
ii = char-position i
jj = char-position j

The out MRF contains 21 values for each position (V) and 21 x 21 values for each pair of positions (W).

The order of the values is as follows: "ARNDCQEGHILKMFPSTWYV-" (where "-" is the gap).

For RNA the order is "AUCG-", with 5 values for V and 5x5 for W.

For Binary the order is "01-", with 3 values for V and 3x3 for W.
