💖 NAME 💖

okay so maf-cut bestie — it's the manual page for maf-cut version 1654, and it's the little icon that grabs parts of MAF-format alignments for you. no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the usage vibe is literally this, character for character:

usage: maf-cut [-h] segment [alignments] [sequences ...]

and what it does? Get parts of MAF-format alignments. that's the whole assignment and it ate. 🫶

🌸 positional arguments 🌸

these are the things you hand over, in this order, no notes:

  • segment — a zero-based sequence range, like for example chr7:123400-123500. yes bestie, zero-based, count from zero like a civilized person. 💅
  • alignments — a file of sequence alignments in MAF format.
  • sequences — a file of sequences in fasta or fastq format.

🎀 options 🎀

one single flag, she's simple, she's iconic:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. the classic. the moment you're lost, she's there. 🔥
lowkey reminder: segment is required, but alignments and sequences ... are hanging out in the optional zone. sequences can even be a whole little crowd of them, hence the .... that's the tea. ☕

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

there's no SEE ALSO section in this one bestie, the page said what it said and dipped. 🙈

okay so that's the whole thing, fr fr. this was maf-cut version 1654, from August 2026, and that's the entire manual page. go get those alignment parts, main character. 👑💜
