NAME
h-num.pl — compute h-num from a .plot file
SYNOPSIS
h-num.pl prefix
DESCRIPTION
h-num.pl computes the h-num of each helix in an energy dot plot prefix.plot and writes it to prefix.h-num.
hybrid-ss-min and hybrid-min calculate p-num values for each base; the p-num value is the number of pairing partners the base can have. The h-num for a particular base pair is defined as the sum of the p-num values for each base minus one, and the h-num for a helix is the average of the h-num values of each base pair in the helix.
