LOCUSPOCUS(1) User Commands LOCUSPOCUS(1)

locuspocus - calculate locus coordinates for the given gene annotation

locuspocus [options] gff3file1 [gff3file2 gff3file3 ...]

Basic options:

print detailed debugging messages to terminal (standard error)
print this help message and exit
print version number and exit
iLocus parsing:
when parsing interval loci, use the following delta to extend gene loci and include potential regulatory regions; default is 500
when enumerating interval loci, exclude unannotated (and presumably incomplete) iLoci at either end of the sequence
report only incomplete iLocus fragments at the unannotated ends of sequences (complement of --skipends)
do not report intergenic iLoci
Refinement options:
by default genes are grouped in the same iLocus if they have any overlap; 'refine' mode allows for a more nuanced handling of overlapping genes
use CDS rather than UTRs for determining gene overlap; implies 'refine' mode
the minimum number of nucleotides two genes must overlap to be grouped in the same iLocus; default is 1
Output options:
provide a printf-style format string to override the default ID format for newly created loci; default is 'locus%lu' (locus1, locus2, etc) for loci and 'iLocus%lu' (iLocus1, iLocus2, etc) for interval loci; note the format string should include a single %lu specifier to be filled in with a long unsigned integer value
create a file with the lengths of each intergenic iLocus
print a mapping from each gene annotation to its corresponding locus to the given file
name of file to which results will be written; default is terminal (standard output)
retain original feature IDs from input files; conflicts will arise if input contains duplicated ID values
print a mapping from each transcript annotation to its corresponding locus to the given file
include all locus subfeatures (genes, RNAs, etc) in the GFF3 output; default includes only locus features
Input options:
comma-separated list of feature types to use in constructing loci/iLoci; default is 'gene'
if a feature of type $CT exists without a parent, create a parent for this feature with type $PT; for example, mRNA:gene will create a gene feature as a parent for any top-level mRNA feature; this option can be specified multiple times
correct erroneously labeled pseudogenes
