order_file

This is Fixed format file that defines the order of alignment.

Each line gives three numbers, A, B, C.


A is an index to which sequence in the seq_file should be aligned next,
B gives the alignment score that was obtained with...
C which is the sequence that gave the score with A.

Format(1x,i10,f20.2,i10)

MULTALIGN must have already read the seq_file before the order file is defined. the sequences are then re-ordered within the program to conform to the order specified by the order_file.

Examples: globin_pairs.ord

Source: output from program ORDER as a result of processing the results of a pairwise sequence comparison.
