💖 GT-STAT(1) — the GenomeTools manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about gt-stat 🫶 it lives in the GenomeTools manual and it's literally the girl who shows you statistics about features chillin' inside your GFF3 files. no cap, she just looks at your features and tells you the tea ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gt-stat — show statistics about features contained in GFF3 files 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gt stat [option ...] [GFF3_file ...]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the whole menu of options, and yes, we're going through every single one because you deserve the full picture, not a summary. periodt 💖

  • -genelengthdistri [yes|no] — show the gene length distribution (default: no)
  • -genescoredistri [yes|no] — show the gene score distribution (default: no)
  • -exonlengthdistri [yes|no] — show the exon length distribution (default: no)
  • -exonnumberdistri [yes|no] — show the exon number distribution (default: no)
  • -intronlengthdistri [yes|no] — show the intron length distribution (default: no)
  • -cdslengthdistri [yes|no] — show the CDS length distribution, and bestie, that one is measured in amino acids 🧬 (default: no)
  • -source [yes|no] — show the set of used source tags, aka column 2 in regular GFF3 lines 👀 (default: no)
  • -addintrons [yes|no] — add intron features between existing exon features, and it does that before computing stats so the numbers actually count them (default: no)
  • -v [yes|no] — be verbose, spill the details, main character energy 🗣️ (default: no)
  • -o [filename] — redirect output to the specified file (default: undefined)
  • -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)
  • -help — display help and exit 🫶
  • -version — display version information and exit ⭐
lowkey important: those yes|no options all start at no, and -o starts at undefined, so nothing gets turned on until you say so. you're the moment 💅

🐛 REPORTING BUGS 🐛

found a bug? don't suffer in silence, bestie 😭 report it to https://github.com/genometools/genometools/issues and let the maintainers handle it. it's giving responsible user behavior, and we love that for you 🌈

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left 🍓 this was GenomeTools 1.6.6, dated 11/09/2025, and it's been an absolute honor to be your GT-STAT(1) 🎀 mwah, go compute some distributions, you icon 👑✨
