.TH "TIGR-GLIMMER" "1" 
.SH "NAME" 
tigr-glimmer \(em Fine start/stop positions of genes in genome sequence 
.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
.PP 
\fBtigr-extract\fR [genome-file \fB\fIoptions\fR\fP]  
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
Program extract takes a FASTA format sequence file and a file 
with a list of start/stop positions in that file  (e.g., as produced 
by the  long-orfs  program) and extracts and outputs the 
specified sequences. 
.PP 
The first command-line argument is the name of the sequence file, 
which must be in FASTA format. 
.PP 
The second command-line argument is the name of the coordinate file. 
It must contain a list of pairs of positions in the first file, one 
per line.  The format of each entry is: 
.PP 
<IDstring>>  <start position>  <stop position> 
.PP 
This file should contain no other information, so if you're using 
the output of  glimmer  or  long-orfs , you'll have to cut off 
header lines. 
.PP 
The output of the program goes to the standard output and has one 
line for each line in the coordinate file.  Each line contains 
the  IDstring , followed by white space, followed by the substring 
of the sequence file specified by the coordinate pair.  Specifically, 
the substring starts at the first position of the pair and ends at 
the second position (inclusive).  If the first position is bigger 
than the second, then the DNA reverse complement of each position 
is generated.  Start/stop pairs that "wrap around" the end of the 
genome are allowed. 
.SH "OPTIONS" 
.IP "\fB-skip\fP" 10 
makes the output omit the first 3 characters of each sequence, i.e., it skips over the start codon.  This was the behaviour of the previous version of the program. 
.IP "\fB-l\fP" 10 
makes the output omit an sequences shorter than  n  characters. 
n  includes the 3 skipped characters if the  \-skip  switch 
is one.
