NAME¶
ltrsift - a graphical interface for postprocessing and classification of LTR
retrotransposon candidates
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
CONFIGURATION¶
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
“GT_LAST_PATH" environment variable prior to running LTRsift. The
same applies for the BLAST location. Use ``GT_BLAST_PATH” to specify
the the full path to the “blastall” executable.
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.
