SYNOPSIS

    cnv_ltrfinder2gff.pl -i lf_result.txt -o lf_result.gff

Required Arguments

    --infile        # Path to the input file
                    # Result from a single record fasta file

DESCRIPTION

Convert the ltrfinder output to gff format. This assumes that the output from ltr_finder correspons to a single BAC. A suffix can be passed with the --suffix option to provide a suffix for the source column. For example run default ltr_finder results with --suffix def to create ltr_finder:def. T

-o,--outfile

OPTIONS

-n,--name

-p, --param

The name of the paramter set used. This will be appened to the data in the second column of the GFF file, and can be used to distinguish among parameter combinations for multiple applications of ltrfinder to the same sequence file.

--apend
