LTRSIFT(1)

πŸ’– LTRSIFT(1) β€” the manual, but make it cute πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the page for ltrsift, section 1 of the manual, and it's genuinely iconic. it's a whole graphical desktop moment. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

ltrsift β€” a graphical interface for postprocessing and classification of LTR retrotransposon candidates πŸ§¬πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ltrsift

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no arguments, just vibes πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so LTRsift is a graphical desktop tool for semi-automatic postprocessing of de novo predicted LTR retrotransposon annotations. think of the ones that LTRharvest and LTRdigest spit out β€” yeah, those. LTRsift is here to help you deal with them like the main character you are ✨


🫢 CONFIGURATION 🫢

okay so, housekeeping, but make it cute:

  • the LAST binaries (<code>lastal</code> and <code>lastdb</code>) should be chilling in the system search path. that's the default, that's the dream 🌈
  • if they're not in the search path, no panic β€” you can specify where they live using the GT_LAST_PATH environment variable before you run LTRsift. set it up first, then launch, periodt πŸ’œ
  • same deal for the BLAST location, fr fr. use GT_BLAST_PATH to specify the full path to the blastall executable πŸ”₯
  • style files β€” the ones that describe how the linear diagram of the candidate features looks β€” can be set via the LTRSIFT_STYLE_FILE environment variable 🎨
  • and if you don't set one? don't even worry. a sensible default style is built right into LTRsift 😌 she comes prepared πŸ’–
