💅 COMPRESS_GTF(1) — the compress_gtf glow-up guide ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the compress_gtf(1) manual page, a certified component of the cufflinks suite 👑. she's small, she's mighty, she squishes your reference GTF down to size, and honestly? iconic behavior.

🌸 NAME 🌸

compress_gtf — literally a component of the cufflinks suite 🎀 (that's the whole job description, she's humble like that)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

compress_gtf [options] <reference.gtf> <compressed_reference.gtf>

so you hand her a <reference.gtf>, she hands you back a <compressed_reference.gtf>, and the [options] in the middle are where you get to be a little extra 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first thing, the vibe check:

compress_gtf v2.2.1 linked against Boost version 107400

no cap, that's the version info fr fr — v2.2.1, linked against Boost version 107400. she said "here's my specs, don't perceive me" 💀

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here's where it gets juicy. every flag, every default, no skips, we're doing all of them 🍓

• -r/--reference-seq — the reference fasta file you want to feed her. [ default: NULL ] so if you don't say anything, she's just standing there with nothing. give her the fasta, bestie 🙈
• -F/--raw-fpkm — use FPKM instead of isoform fraction. two different flavors of the same energy, pick your fighter 💅
• -U/--union — report projective union. [ default: OFF ] so she's not doing this unless you ask, she's not doing charity work ✨
• -I/--intersection — report projective intersection. [ default: ON ] — yes queen, this one's already turned on by default, main character energy fr 🎀

ngl the defaults matter here: -U starts OFF, -I starts ON, and -r starts as NULL. don't @ me, that's just canon 📖

🧚 a lil sign-off 🧚

this page is from compress_gtf 2.2.1+dfsg.1-9, dated November 2021 💜 — so she's a lil vintage, a lil classic, still slaying. go compress something, bestie, and remember: [options] before the two file arguments, always 🦋💖✨
