This command takes a list of profiles, specified in profile_list_file, to calculate their Position Specific Scoring Matrices (PSSM) and create a database of these PSSMs for use in profile.scan().
The profiles listed in profile_list_file should be in a format that is understood by profile.read(). For instance, like those created by profile.build() or alignment.to_profile. See documentation under profile.read() for help on profile_format.
rr_file is the residue-residue substitution matrix to use when calculating the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM). The current implemenation is optimized only for the BLOSUM62 matrix.
matrix_offset is the value by which the scoring matrix is offset during dynamic programing. For the blosum62 matrix use a value of -450.
pssmdb_name is the name for the output PSSM database.
