obitail - description of obitail
obitail command is in some way analog to the standard Unix
tail command. It selects the tail of a sequence file. But instead of
working text line by text line as the standard Unix tool, selection is done
at the sequence record level. You can specify the number of sequence records
to select.
Example:
> obitail -n 150 seq1.fasta > seq2.fasta
Selects the 150 last sequence records from the seq1.fasta
file and stores them into the seq2.fasta file.
- --skip
<N>
- The N first sequence records of the file are discarded from the analysis
and not reported to the output file
- --only
<N>
- Only the N next sequence records of the file are analyzed. The following
sequences in the file are neither analyzed, neither reported to the output
file. This option can be used conjointly with the –skip
option.
- --embl
- Input file is in embl format.
- --fasta
- Input file is in fasta format (including OBITools fasta extensions).
- --sanger
- Input file is in Sanger fastq format (standard fastq used by HiSeq/MiSeq
sequencers).
- --solexa
- Input file is in fastq format produced by Solexa (Ga IIx) sequencers.
- --ecopcr
- Input file is in ecoPCR format.
- --nuc
- Input file contains nucleic sequences.
- --prot
- Input file contains protein sequences.
- --DEBUG
- Sets logging in debug mode.
