I'm sure 1.7 is lightyears better but 1.5 is what I was told by our team here is the one I should be using. I've got something that runs at the moment and I'll try the 1.7 version and see how that goes.

One problem I am having at the moment is a lack of InterruptedException which would be helpful so I can cancel an alignment cleanly. As it stands I can cancel the Geneious part of it but the alignment will continue in the background. If that has changed in 1.7 then that would make a good case for switching.

maxiter: 1-10 (didn't think there was any point in having 0 iterations but I guess you know better than me)

0 is quick and dirty...

Thanks anyway, I'll use your recommendations. For the moment, we'll stick with the version in Biojava 1.5 but will keep an eye on developments.

you mean 1.7, right? 1.5 is ancient and I can;t recommend using that...http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:Download

Hi Shane,

so again with the disclaimer that things probably will change, for now I recommend the following ranges :
maxiter: 0 - 10
seedRmsdCutoff 1.0 - 5.0
diagonaldistances: 1-15

Hi Andreas,

That sounds perfect as it keeps the options panel nice and compact. Do you have a recommendation for the range (min to max) of settings for each of these options?

Hi Shane,

If we take perhaps the three most important ones:

maxIter - the number of times dynamic programming is run.
seedRmsdCutoff -  the Rmsd cutoff for initial seeds
diagonalDistance and diagonalDistance2 that define at which intramolecular distance the two proteins a re compared.

There will probably some more work being done re structure alignments for the next release, but it is a bit early to go into details.

I've got it working and I've also got all the parameter defaults however there are a lot. I'm looking for a bit of advice on which ones are likely to be useful to a typical user so I only have to put a limited set into the options panel as there is no need to overload them and also a pointer to where I can find the information on the acceptable limits for each parameter since this information doesn't appear in the JavaDoc. I do have the original paper by Lackner et al but it would be better to know what is recommended specifically for the implementation in biojava.

Cheers,

Shane
