## NAME

bbFilter - this is a part of mauveAligner package

## DESCRIPTION

**bbFilter** *\<backbone file\> \<independent dist\> \<output file\> \<beast\|gp\> \[\<seq1\> \<seq2\>...\<seqN\>\]*\
 seq index starts at 0.

## EXAMPLES

Example:

-

  **bbFilter** my\_alignment.backbone 50 my\_feats.bin gp

the above command extracts binary features from "my\_alignment.backbone" which are separated by a minimum of 50nt sequence conserved among all taxa in the alignment.  The output is written to my\_feats.bin in genoplast format

Example 2:

-

  **bbFilter** aln.backbone 100 feats.xml beast 0 1 2 5 6

the above command extracts binary features from "aln.backbone" which are separated by a minimum of 100nt sequence conserved among genomes 0,1,2,5, and 6 from the alignment.  The output is written to feats.xml in beast format
