🎀 NAME 🎀

gt-encseq-decode — decode / extract encoded sequences, and she eats every single time. ✨ This page lives in the GenomeTools Manual, and honestly? iconic behavior. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gt encseq decode (sequence_file|indexname)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so bestie, this is the whole vibe: you hand over a sequence_file or an indexname, and she decodes / extracts the encoded sequences for you. No cap. Below is the entire menu of options — every single one, not a single crumb skipped, because we don't gatekeep. 🫶

  • -mirrored [yes|no] — virtually appends the reverse complement of each sequence, like a lil mirror selfie for your sequence. 🪞 default: no
  • -lossless [yes|no] — lets you retrieve the original sequence with zero loss, fr fr. default: no
  • -dir [string] — picks your reading direction. Your choices are fwd, cpl, rev, rcl. default: fwd
  • -singlechars [yes|no] — do not use a GtEncseqReader; instead she accesses each sequence character separately, one at a time, individually, like texting each letter in its own message. default: no
  • -seq [value] — extracts the sequence identified by its number. default: undefined
  • -seqrange [start end] — extracts multiple consecutive sequences, a whole lil squad of them. default: undefined
  • -output [...] — sets the output format; choose from fasta|concat. default: fasta
  • -range [start end] — a concatenated range to extract, and heads up: this one implies -output concat. default: undefined
  • -sepchar [string] — the character to print as GT_SEPARATOR. default: |
  • -help — shows help for the basic options and dips out. 👋
  • -help+ — shows help for all the options and dips out. she's thorough, she's giving overachiever. 👑
  • -version — shows version information and dips out. 🏷️
