The arguments accepted by ScaffMatch are:

  -w) Working directory -- this is the directory where ScaffMatch files are stored. These are .sam files produced after mapping reads to contigs and the resulting scaffolds file `scaffolds.fa` fasta file;

  -c) Contig fasta file;

  -m) Command line argument with no options. It is used when .sam files are used instead of reads .fastq files. Do not use this option if you provide reads files;

  -1) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the first read of the read pair;

  -2) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the second read of the read pair;

  -i) (Comma separated list of) insert size(s) of the library(-ies);

  -s) (Comma separated list of) library(-ies) standard deviation(s) of insert size(s);

  -t) Bundle threshold. Pairs of contigs supported by number of read pairs less than the value of this argument are discarded. Optional argument, by default it is equal to 5;

  -g) Matching heuristics: use `max_weight` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics with the Insertion step, use `backbone` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics without the Insertion step, use `greedy` for Greedy Matching heuristics;

  -l) Log file - where to store the logs. Optional argument. By default, stdout is used.

• Speed: Prodigal is an extremely fast gene recognition tool (written in very vanilla C). It can analyze an entire microbial genome in 30 seconds or less.
• Accuracy: Prodigal is a highly accurate gene finder. It correctly locates the 3' end of every gene in the experimentally verified Ecogene data set (except those containing introns). It possesses a very sophisticated ribosomal binding site scoring system that enables it to locate the translation initiation site with great accuracy (96% of the 5' ends in the Ecogene data set are located correctly).
• Specificity: Prodigal's false positive rate compares favorably with other gene identification programs, and usually falls under 5%.
• GC-Content Indifferent: Prodigal performs well even in high GC genomes, with over a 90% perfect match (5'+3') to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa curated annotations.
• Metagenomic Version: Prodigal can run in metagenomic mode and analyze sequences even when the organism is unknown.
• Ease of Use: Prodigal can be run in one step on a single genomic sequence or on a draft genome containing many sequences. It does not need to be supplied with any knowledge of the organism, as it learns all the properties it needs to on its own.
• Open Source: Prodigal source code is freely available under the General Public License.
