gtf2seq 0.1.0

Extract genomic sequences and visualize the genomic features in word document

gtf2seq

Motivation: Although tools like snpEFF have been developed for annotating and predicting the effects of variants, there is a lack of tools to show the variants in gene sequences. In order to enable research-ers to easily extract sequences from GFF files with annotations of genomic features, we developped gff2seq to fill this gap.

Results: Gff2seq, an open-source toolkit, can extract genomic sequences and visualize the genomic features in word document.

  -t TRANSCRIPTID_LIST, --transcriptid_list TRANSCRIPTID_LIST
                        List of transcript IDs
  --vcf VCF             VCF files with snpEff annotation.
  --sample SAMPLE       Sample/individual ID if you want to output genotypes in the sequence for a                                               specific sample/individual.
  --exclude_intron      Exclude intron sequences in the output
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
