    scoring: min_pep_length/min_nuc_length in compare-structures action · 341783cc

    Minimum length for a chain in the target structure
    to be considered in chain mapping. The chain mapping algorithm first
    performs an all vs. all pairwise sequence alignment to identify
    "equal" chains within the target structure. We go for simple sequence
    identity there. Short sequences can be problematic as they may
    produce high sequence identity alignments by pure chance.
    
    BUT: if you're scoring peptides or short nucleotides, you
    really want to be able to reduce the default thresholds
    (pep: 10, nuc: 4)
