+"Usage\n"
+"-----\n"
+"\n"
+"uchime --input query.fasta [--db db.fasta] [--uchimeout results.uchime]\n"
+" [--uchimealns results.alns]\n"
+"\n"
+"Options\n"
+"-------\n"
+"\n"
+"--input filename\n"
+" Query sequences in FASTA format.\n"
+" If the --db option is not specificed, uchime uses de novo\n"
+" detection. In de novo mode, relative abundance must be given\n"
+" by a string /ab=xxx/ somewhere in the label, where xxx is a\n"
+" floating-point number, e.g. >F00QGH67HG/ab=1.2/.\n"
+"\n"
+"--db filename\n"
+" Reference database in FASTA format.\n"
+" Optional, if not specified uchime uses de novo mode.\n"
+"\n"
+" ***WARNING*** The database is searched ONLY on the plus strand.\n"
+" You MUST include reverse-complemented sequences in the database\n"
+" if you want both strands to be searched.\n"
+"\n"
+"--abskew x\n"
+" Minimum abundance skew. Default 1.9. De novo mode only.\n"
+" Abundance skew is:\n"
+" min [ abund(parent1), abund(parent2) ] / abund(query).\n"
+"\n"
+"--uchimeout filename\n"
+" Output in tabbed format with one record per query sequence.\n"
+" First field is score (h), second field is query label.\n"
+" For details, see manual.\n"
+"\n"
+"--uchimealns filename\n"
+" Multiple alignments of query sequences to parents in human-\n"
+" readable format. Alignments show columns with differences\n"
+" that support or contradict a chimeric model.\n"
+"\n"
+"--minh h\n"
+" Mininum score to report chimera. Default 0.3. Values from 0.1\n"
+" to 5 might be reasonable. Lower values increase sensitivity\n"
+" but may report more false positives. If you decrease --xn,\n"
+" you may need to increase --minh, and vice versa.\n"
+"\n"
+"--mindiv div\n"
+" Minimum divergence ratio, default 0.5. Div ratio is 100%% - \n"
+" %%identity between query sequence and the closest candidate for\n"
+" being a parent. If you don't care about very close chimeras,\n"
+" then you could increase --mindiv to, say, 1.0 or 2.0, and\n"
+" also decrease --min h, say to 0.1, to increase sensitivity.\n"
+" How well this works will depend on your data. Best is to\n"
+" tune parameters on a good benchmark.\n"
+"\n"
+"--xn beta\n"
+" Weight of a no vote, also called the beta parameter. Default 8.0.\n"
+" Decreasing this weight to around 3 or 4 may give better\n"
+" performance on denoised data.\n"
+"\n"
+"--dn n\n"
+" Pseudo-count prior on number of no votes. Default 1.4. Probably\n"
+" no good reason to change this unless you can retune to a good\n"
+" benchmark for your data. Reasonable values are probably in the\n"
+" range from 0.2 to 2.\n"
+"\n"
+"--xa w\n"
+" Weight of an abstain vote. Default 1. So far, results do not\n"
+" seem to be very sensitive to this parameter, but if you have\n"
+" a good training set might be worth trying. Reasonable values\n"
+" might range from 0.1 to 2.\n"
+"\n"
+"--chunks n\n"
+" Number of chunks to extract from the query sequence when searching\n"
+" for parents. Default 4.\n"
+"\n"
+"--[no]ovchunks\n"
+" [Do not] use overlapping chunks. Default do not.\n"
+"\n"
+"--minchunk n\n"
+" Minimum length of a chunk. Default 64.\n"
+"\n"
+"--idsmoothwindow w\n"
+" Length of id smoothing window. Default 32.\n"
+"\n"
+"--minsmoothid f\n"
+" Minimum factional identity over smoothed window of candidate parent.\n"
+" Default 0.95.\n"
+"\n"
+"--maxp n\n"
+" Maximum number of candidate parents to consider. Default 2. In tests so\n"
+" far, increasing --maxp gives only a very small improvement in sensivity\n"
+" but tends to increase the error rate quite a bit.\n"
+"\n"
+"--[no]skipgaps\n"
+"--[no]skipgaps2\n"
+" These options control how gapped columns affect counting of diffs.\n"
+" If --skipgaps is specified, columns containing gaps do not found as diffs.\n"
+" If --skipgaps2 is specified, if column is immediately adjacent to\n"
+" a column containing a gap, it is not counted as a diff.\n"
+" Default is --skipgaps --skipgaps2.\n"
+"\n"
+"--minlen L\n"
+"--maxlen L\n"
+" Minimum and maximum sequence length. Defaults 10, 10000.\n"
+" Applies to both query and reference sequences.\n"
+"\n"
+"--ucl\n"
+" Use local-X alignments. Default is global-X. On tests so far, global-X\n"
+" is always better; this option is retained because it just might work\n"
+" well on some future type of data.\n"
+"\n"
+"--queryfract f\n"
+" Minimum fraction of the query sequence that must be covered by a local-X\n"
+" alignment. Default 0.5. Applies only when --ucl is specified.\n"
+"\n"
+"--quiet\n"
+" Do not display progress messages on stderr.\n"
+"\n"
+"--log filename\n"
+" Write miscellaneous information to the log file. Mostly of interest\n"
+" to me (the algorithm developer). Use --verbose to get more info.\n"
+"\n"
+"--self\n"
+" In reference database mode, exclude a reference sequence if it has\n"
+" the same label as the query. This is useful for benchmarking by using\n"
+" the ref db as a query to test for false positives.\n"
