.SH "NAME"
ltrsift \- a graphical interface for postprocessing and classification of LTR retrotransposon candidates
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
ltrsift
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
LTRsift is a graphical desktop tool for semi\-automatic postprocessing of de novo predicted LTR retrotransposon annotations, such as the ones generated by LTRharvest and LTRdigest\&.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.sp
The LAST binaries (lastal and lastdb) should be located in the system search path\&. If they are not, is it possible to specify their location using the \(lqGT_LAST_PATH" environment variable prior to running LTRsift\&. The same applies for the BLAST location\&. Use ``GT_BLAST_PATH\(rq to specify the the full path to the \(lqblastall\(rq executable\&.
.sp
Style files (describing how the linear diagram of the candidate features look like) can be set via the LTRSIFT_STYLE_FILE environment variable\&. A sensible default style is built into LTRsift\&.
