NAME

map_gff_coords - Map coordinates of GFF features from one genome to another using a Mercator multiple alignment

SYNOPSIS

map_gff_coords [options] <source genome> <source GFF file> <target genome>

DESCRIPTION

map_gff_coords from FSA 1.15.9

Map coordinates of GFF features from one genome to another using a Mercator multiple alignment.

OPTIONS

show this message
only look at features of particular type
path to map, genome and alignment files
path to map and genome files
path to alignment files
warn, rather than die, if the subalignment can't be obtained
truncate unmappable sequence (rather than skipping) and show truncated subalignment
if a feature can't be mapped, then add an empty entry to the GFF file (rather than skipping it entirely); implies --lazy
report progress

PLEASE NOTE: While this program is reasonably fast if the GFF is properly ordered by chromosome and the start and end coordinates of features, it will be *very slow* if the GFF is not sorted. Assumes that the "seqid" or "name" field (the first field) of the GFF entries holds the chromosome name.

Note that the GFF specification defines coordinates to be 1-based and fully-closed, therefore representing the interval [start, end]. Conformance to this specification is assumed internally.

If requested, unmappable sequence will be truncated to the mappable portion; note that the truncation will favor the beginning of the requested sequence.

If a GFF feature is on the + strand for the source genome but the corresponding homologous region in the target genome is on the - strand, then the mapped GFF feature will be reported as on the - strand.
