+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBspidey\fP is a tool for aligning one or more mRNA sequences to a
+given genomic sequence. \fBspidey\fP was written with two main goals
+in mind: find good alignments regardless of intron size; and avoid
+getting confused by nearby pseudogenes and paralogs. Towards the
+first goal, \fBspidey\fP uses BLAST and Dot View (another local
+alignment tool) to find its alignments; since these are both local
+alignment tools, \fBspidey\fP does not intrinsically favor shorter or
+longer introns and has no maximum intron size. To avoid mistakenly
+including exons from paralogs and pseudogenes, \fBspidey\fP first
+defines windows on the genomic sequence and then performs the
+mRNA-to-genomic alignment separately within each window. Because of
+the way the windows are constructed, neighboring paralogs or
+pseudogenes should be in separate windows and should not be included
+in the final spliced alignment.
+.SS Initial alignments and construction of genomic windows
+\fBspidey\fP takes as input a single genomic sequence and a set of
+mRNA accessions or FASTA sequences. All processing is done one mRNA
+sequence at a time. The first step for each mRNA sequence is a
+high-stringency BLAST against the genomic sequence. The resulting
+hits are analyzed to find the genomic windows.
+.PP
+The BLAST alignments are sorted by score and then assigned into
+windows by a recursive function which takes the first alignment and
+then goes down the alignment list to find all alignments that are
+consistent with the first (same strand of mRNA, both the mRNA and
+genomic coordinates are nonoverlapping and linearly consistent). On
+subsequent passes, the remaining alignments are examined and are put
+into their own nonoverlapping, consistent windows, until no alignments
+are left. Depending on how many gene models are desired, the
+top \fIn\fP windows are chosen to go on to the next step and the others
+are deleted.
+.SS Aligning in each window
+Once the genomic windows are constructed, the initial BLAST alignments
+are freed and another BLAST search is performed, this time with the
+entire mRNA against the genomic region defined by the window, and at a
+lower stringency than the initial search. \fBspidey\fP then uses a
+greedy algorithm to generate a high-scoring, nonoverlapping subset of
+the alignments from the second BLAST search. This consistent set is
+analyzed carefully to make sure that the entire mRNA sequence is
+covered by the alignments. When gaps are found between the
+alignments, the appropriate region of genomic sequence is searched
+against the missing mRNA, first using a very low-stringency BLAST and,
+if the BLAST fails to find a hit, using DotView functions to locate
+the alignment. When gaps are found at the ends of the alignments, the
+BLAST and DotView searches are actually allowed to extend past the
+boundaries of the window. If the 3' end of the mRNA does not align
+completely, it is first examined for the presence of a poly(A) tail.
+No attempt is made to align the portion of the mRNA that seems to be a
+poly(A) tail; sometimes there is a poly(A) tail that does align to the
+genomic sequence, and these are noted because they indicate the
+possibility of a pseudogene.
+.PP
+Now that the mRNA is completely covered by the set of alignments, the
+boundaries of the alignments (there should be one alignment per exon
+now) are adjusted so that the alignments abut each other precisely and
+so that they are adjacent to good splice donor and acceptor sites.
+Most commonly, two adjacent exons' alignments overlap by as much as 20
+or 30 base pairs on the mRNA sequence. The true exon boundary may lie
+anywhere within this overlap, or (as we have seen empirically) even a
+few base pairs outside the overlap. To position the exon boundaries,
+the overlap plus a few base pairs on each side is examined for splice
+donor sites, using functions that have different splice matrices
+depending on the organism chosen. The top few splice donor sites (by
+score) are then evaluated as to how much they affect the original
+alignment boundaries. The site that affects the boundaries the least
+is chosen, and is evaluated as to the presence of an acceptor site.
+The alignments are truncated or extended as necessary so that they
+terminate at the splice donor site and so that they do not overlap.
+.SS Final result
+The windows are examined carefully to get the percent identity per
+exon, the number of gaps per exon, the overall percent identity, the
+percent coverage of the mRNA, presence of an aligning or non-aligning
+poly(A) tail, number of splice donor sites and the presence or absence
+of splice donor and acceptor sites for each exon, and the occurrence
+of an mRNA that has a 5' or 3' end (or both) that does not align to
+the genomic sequence. If the overall percent identity and percent
+length coverage are above the user-defined cutoffs, a summary report
+is printed, and, if requested, a text alignment showing identities and
+mismatches is also printed.
+.SS Interspecies alignments
+\fBspidey\fP is capable of performing interspecies alignments. The
+major difference in interspecies alignments is that the mRNA-genomic
+identity will not be close to 100% as it is in intraspecies
+alignments; also, the alignments have numerous and lengthy gaps. If
+\fBspidey\fP is used in its normal mode to do interspecies alignments,
+it produces gene models with many, many short exons. When the
+interspecies flag is set, \fBspidey\fP uses different BLAST parameters
+to encourage longer and more gaps and to not penalize as heavily for
+mismatches. This way, the alignments for the exons are much longer
+and more closely approximate the actual gene structure.
+.SS Extracting CDS alignments
+When \fBspidey\fP is run in network-aware mode or when ASN.1 files are
+used for the mRNA records, it is capable of extracting a CDS alignment
+from an mRNA alignment and printing the CDS information also. Since
+the CDS alignment is just a subset of the mRNA alignment, it is
+relatively straightforward to truncate the exon alignments as
+necessary and to generate a CDS alignment. Furthermore, the
+untranslated regions are now defined, so the percent identity for the
+5' and 3' untranslated regions is also calculated.
