# gt-inlineseq\_add(1)

Adds inline sequences from external source to GFF3 input.

## NAME

gt-inlineseq\_add - Adds inline sequences from external source to GFF3 input.

## SYNOPSIS

**gt inlineseq\_add** \[options\] \[GFF3\_file ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

- **-seqfile** \[*filename*\]

  set the sequence file from which to take the sequences (default: undefined)

- **-encseq** \[*filename*\]

  set the encoded sequence indexname from which to take the sequences (default: undefined)

- **-seqfiles**

  set the sequence files from which to extract the features use *--* to terminate the list of sequence files

- **-matchdesc** \[*yes\|no*\]

  search the sequence descriptions from the input files for the desired sequence IDs (in GFF3), reporting the first match (default: no)

- **-matchdescstart** \[*yes\|no*\]

  exactly match the sequence descriptions from the input files for the desired sequence IDs (in GFF3) from the beginning to the first whitespace (default: no)

- **-usedesc** \[*yes\|no*\]

  use sequence descriptions to map the sequence IDs (in GFF3) to actual sequence entries. If a description contains a sequence range (e.g., III:1000001..2000000), the first part is used as sequence ID (*III*) and the first range position as offset (*1000001*) (default: no)

- **-regionmapping** \[*string*\]

  set file containing sequence-region to sequence file mapping (default: undefined)

- **-o** \[*filename*\]

  redirect output to specified file (default: undefined)

- **-gzip** \[*yes\|no*\]

  write gzip compressed output file (default: no)

- **-bzip2** \[*yes\|no*\]

  write bzip2 compressed output file (default: no)

- **-force** \[*yes\|no*\]

  force writing to output file (default: no)

- **-help**

  display help and exit

- **-version**

  display version information and exit
