NAME

gt-gff3 - Parse, possibly transform, and output GFF3 files.

SYNOPSIS

gt gff3 [option ...] [GFF3_file ...]

DESCRIPTION

-sort [ yes|no ]

sort the GFF3 features (memory consumption is proportional to the input file size(s)) (default: no)

-sortlines [ yes|no ]

sort the GFF3 features on a strict line basis (not sorted asdefined by GenomeTools) (default: no)

-sortnum [ yes|no ]

enable natural numeric sorting for sequence regions (not sorted as defined by GenomeTools) (default: no)

-tidy [ yes|no ]

try to tidy the GFF3 files up during parsing (default: no)

-retainids [ yes|no ]

when available, use the original IDs provided in the source file (memory consumption is proportional to the input file size(s)) (default: no)

-checkids [ yes|no ]

make sure the ID attributes are unique within the scope of each GFF3_file, as required by GFF3 specification (memory consumption is proportional to the input file size(s)). If features with the same Parent attribute are not separated by a # line the GFF3 parser tries to treat them as a multi-line feature. This requires at least matching sequence IDs and types. (default: no)

-addids [ yes|no ]

add missing "##sequence-region" lines automatically (default: yes)

-fixregionboundaries [ yes|no ]

automatically adjust "##sequence-region" lines to contain all their features (memory consumption is proportional to the input file size(s)) (default: no)

-addintrons [ yes|no ]

add intron features between existing exon features (default: no)

-offset [ value ]

transform all features by the given offset

-offsetfile [ filename ]

transform all features by the offsets given in file (default: undefined)

-setsource [ string ]

set the source value (2nd column) of each feature (default: undefined)

-typecheck [ string ]

use an ontology given in an OBO file to validate parent-child relationships. If no argument is given, the sofa.obo file from the gtdata/obo_files directory is used. If an argument is given, it is used as an OBO filename. In the case that such a file does not exist .obo is added to the argument and loading the resulting filename from the gtdata/obo_files directory is attempted. (default: undefined)

-xrfcheck [ string ]

check Dbxref and Ontology_term attributes for correct syntax according to a abbreviation definition file. If no argument is given, the GO.xrf_abbs file from the gtdata/xrf_abbr directory is used. If an argument is given, it is used as an specific filename for an abbreviation file. In the case that such a file does not exist, .xrf_abbr is added to the argument and loading the resulting filename from the gtdata/xrf_abbr directory is attempted. (default: undefined)

-show [ yes|no ]

show GFF3 output (default: yes)

-v [ yes|no ]

be verbose (default: no)

-width [ value ]

set output width for FASTA sequence printing (0 disables formatting) (default: 0)

-o [ filename ]

redirect output to specified file (default: undefined)

-gzip [ yes|no ]

write gzip compressed output file (default: no)

-bzip2 [ yes|no ]

write bzip2 compressed output file (default: no)

-force [ yes|no ]

force writing to output file (default: no)

-help

display help and exit

-version

display version information and exit

File format for option -offsetfile :

The file supplied to option -offsetfile defines a mapping table named “offsets”. It maps the sequence-region entries given in the GFF3_file to offsets. It can be defined as follows:

offsets = {
chr1 = 1000,
chr2 = 500
}

When this example is used, all features with seqid “chr1” will be offset by 1000 and all features with seqid “chr2” by 500.

If -offsetfile is used, offsets for all sequence-regions contained in the given GFF3 files must be defined.
