LTRSIFT(1)
==========

NAME
----
ltrsift - a graphical interface for postprocessing and classification of
LTR retrotransposon candidates


SYNOPSIS
--------
ltrsift


DESCRIPTION
-----------
LTRsift is a graphical desktop tool for semi-automatic postprocessing of de
novo predicted LTR retrotransposon annotations, such as the ones generated by
LTRharvest and LTRdigest.

CONFIGURATION
-------------

The LAST binaries (lastal and lastdb) should be located in the system
search path. If they are not, is it possible to specify their location
using the ``GT_LAST_PATH" environment variable prior to running LTRsift.
The same applies for the BLAST location. Use ``GT_BLAST_PATH'' to specify
the the full path to the ``blastall'' executable.

Style files (describing how the linear diagram of the candidate features
look like) can be set via the LTRSIFT_STYLE_FILE environment variable.
A sensible default style is built into LTRsift.
