💖 gt-gtf_to_gff3 — bestie's guide 💖

okay so you found the GenomeTools manual, and this particular page is all about gt-gtf_to_gff3 — she's a little converter babe who parses a GTF2.2 file and turns it into GFF3. no cap. that's literally her whole job and she ate. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gt-gtf_to_gff3 — parse a GTF2.2 file and convert it to GFF3. that's it, that's the gig. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gt gtf_to_gff3 [GTF_file]

so you call her through gt, and you can hand her a GTF_file — but it's optional, bestie, she's flexible like that. 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the whole vibe check, every single flag, no skips:

  • -tidy [yes|no] — try to tidy the GTF file up while she's parsing it (default: no). she'll attempt to clean it up mid-parse, if you ask nicely. 🧚
  • -o [filename] — redirect the output to a specific file (default: undefined). you pick the destination, she writes there. 🎀
  • -gzip [yes|no] — write a gzip compressed output file (default: no). ✨
  • -bzip2 [yes|no] — write a bzip2 compressed output file (default: no). 🌸
  • -force [yes|no] — force writing to the output file (default: no). she will commit to the bit. 💀
  • -help — display help and exit. the classic escape hatch, iconic. 👑
  • -version — display version information and exit. for when you just wanna know who you're dealing with. ⭐
ngl bestie, the [yes|no] ones default to no, so if you want the fancy behaviour you actually gotta say so. she's not out here assuming. periodt.
