Create sequence logos from biological sequence alignments.
- --version
- show program's version number and exit
- -h --help
- show this help message and exit
- Input/Output Options:
- -f --fin
FILENAME
- Sequence input file (default: stdin)
- --upload
URL
- Upload input file from URL
- -D --datatype
FORMAT
- Type of multiple sequence alignment or position weight matrix file:
(clustal, fasta, msf, genbank, nbrf, nexus, phylip, stockholm,
intelligenetics, table, array, transfac)
- -o --fout
FILENAME
- Output file (default: stdout)
- -F --format
FORMAT
- Format of output: eps (default), png, png_print, pdf, jpeg, svg,
logodata
- Logo Data Options:
- -A --sequence-type
TYPE
- The type of sequence data: 'protein', 'rna' or 'dna'.
- -a --alphabet
ALPHABET
- The set of symbols to count, e.g. 'AGTC'. All characters not in the
alphabet are ignored. If neither the alphabet nor sequence-type are
specified then weblogo will examine the input data and make an educated
guess. See also --sequence-type, --ignore-lower-case
- -U --units
UNIT
- A unit of entropy ('bits' (default), 'nats', 'digits'), or a unit offree
energy ('kT', 'kJ/mol', 'kcal/mol'), or 'probability' for
probabilities
- --composition
COMP.
- The expected composition of the sequences: 'auto' (default),
'equiprobable', 'none' (do not perform any compositional adjustment), a CG
percentage, a species name (e.g. 'E. coli', 'H. sapiens'), or an explicit
distribution (e.g. "{'A':10, 'C':40, 'G':40, 'T':10}"). The
automatic option uses a typical distribution for proteins and equiprobable
distribution for everything else.
- --weight
NUMBER
- The weight of prior data. Default depends on alphabet length
- -i --first-index
INDEX
- Index of first position in sequence data (default: 1)
- -l --lower
INDEX
- Lower bound of sequence to display
- -u --upper
INDEX
- Upper bound of sequence to display
- Transformations:
- Optional transformations of the sequence data.
- --ignore-lower-case
- Disregard lower case letters and only count upper case letters in
sequences.
- --reverse
- reverse sequences
- --complement
- complement nucleic sequences
- --revcomp
- reverse complement nucleic sequences
- Logo Format Options:
- These options control the format and display of the logo.

- -x --xlabel
TEXT
- X-axis label
- --annotate
TEXT
- A comma separated list of custom stack annotations, e.g. '1,3,4,5,6,7'.
Annotation list must be same length as sequences.

prior.)
- -Y --show-yaxis
YES/NO
- Display entropy scale along y-axis? (default: True)
- -y --ylabel
TEXT
- Y-axis label (default depends on plot type and units)
- -E --show-ends
YES/NO
- Label the ends of the sequence? (default: False)
- -P --fineprint
TEXT
- The fine print (default: weblogo version)
- --ticmarks
NUMBER
- Distance between ticmarks (default: 1.0)
- --errorbars
YES/NO
- Display error bars? (default: True)
- --reverse-stacks
YES/NO
- Draw stacks with largest letters on top? (default: True)
- Color Options:
- Colors can be specified using CSS2 syntax. e.g. 'red', '#FF0000', etc
- -c --color-scheme
SCHEME
- Specify a standard color scheme (auto, base pairing, charge, chemistry,
classic, hydrophobicity, monochrome)
- -C --color COLOR
SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION
- Specify symbol colors, e.g. --color black AG 'Purine'
--color red TC 'Pyrimidine'
- --default-color
COLOR
- Symbol color if not otherwise specified.
- Font Format Options:
- These options provide control over the font sizes and types.
