# aevol\_misc\_extract(1)

an in silico experimental evolution platform

## NAME

Aevol - an in silico experimental evolution platform

## SYNOPSIS

**aevol\_misc\_extract -h** \| **--help**\
 **aevol\_misc\_extract -V** \| **--version**\
 **aevol\_misc\_extract \[-t *TIMESTEP*\] \[-S *SEQ\_FILE*\] \[-T *TRIANGLE\_FILE*\] \[-U *NUM\_GU*\] \[-a\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Aevol** is a simulation platform that allows one to let populations of digital organisms evolve in different conditions and study experimentally the mechanisms responsible for the structuration of the genome and the transcriptome.

- **aevol\_misc\_extract**

  extracts the genotype and/or data about the phenotype of individuals in the provided population and write them into text files easy to parse with e.g. matlab.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  print help, then exit

- **-V, --version**

  print version number, then exit

**-t** *TIMESTEP*\
 specify timestep of the individual(s) of interest

**-S** *SEQ\_FILE*\
 extract sequences into file SEQ\_FILE

**-T** *TRIANGLE\_FILE*\
 extract phenotypic data into file TRIANGLE\_FILE

**-U** *NUM\_GU*\
 only treat genetic unit #NUM\_GU\
 default: treat all genetic units

**-a**\
 treat all the individuals\
 default: treat only the best
