GeMoRNA

Command line tool

GeMoRNA is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but without any warranty; without even the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

GeMoRNA and auxiliary tools are packaged in one runnable JAR that may be run from the command line with

java -jar GeMoRNA-1.0.jar

which lists the tools available and usage information

 Available tools:

	gemorna - GeMoRNA
	predictCDS - Predict CDS from GFF
	GAF - GeMoMa Annotation Filter
	Analyzer - Analyzer
	merge - Merge

Syntax: java -jar GeMoRNA-1.0.jar <toolname> [<parameter=value> ...]

Further info about the tools is given with
	java -jar GeMoRNA-1.0.jar <toolname> info

For tests of individual tools:
	java -jar GeMoRNA-1.0.jar <toolname> test [<verbose>]

Tool parameters are listed with
	java -jar GeMoRNA-1.0.jar <toolname>

You get a list of the tool parameters by calling GeMoRNA-1.0.jar with the corresponding tool name, e.g.,

java -jar GeMoRNA-1.0.jar gemorna

The meaning of the individual tool parameters is described below. For convenience, we also include the GeMoMa tools Analyzer and GAF.
