USAGE: starchstrip [ --include | --exclude ] <chromosome-list> <starch-file>
-
* Add either the --include or --exclude argument to filter the specified
-
<starch-file> for chromosomes in <chromosome-list> for inclusion or exclusion, respectively. Note that you can only specify either inclusion or exclusion.
-
* The <chromosome-list> argument is a comma-separated list of chromosome names
-
to be included or excluded. This list is a *required* argument to either of the two --include and --exclude options.
-
* The output is a Starch archive containing those chromosomes specified for inclusion
-
or what chromosomes remain after exclusion from the original <starch-file>. A new metadata payload is appended to the output Starch archive.
-
* The output is written to the standard output stream -- use the output redirection
-
operator to write the result to a regular file, e.g.:
-
$ starchstrip --exclude chrA,chrB,chrC in.starch > out.starch
-
* If a specified chromosome is not in the input Starch archive, it will be ignored
-
during processing.
-
* Filtering simply copies over raw bytes from the input Starch archive and
-
no extraction or recompression is performed. Use 'starchcat' to update the metadata, if new attributes are required.
