NAME

       obitail - description of obitail

       obitail  command  is in some way analog to the standard Unix tail command.  It selects the
       tail of a sequence file.  But instead of working text line by text line  as  the  standard
       Unix  tool,  selection is done at the sequence record level. You can specify the number of
       sequence records to select.
          Example:

                 > obitail -n 150 seq1.fasta > seq2.fasta

              Selects the 150 last sequence records from the seq1.fasta file and stores them into
              the seq2.fasta file.

OBITAIL SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       -n <INTEGER>, --sequence-count <INTEGER>
              Number of sequence records to be selected (default value : 10).

OPTIONS TO SPECIFY INPUT FORMAT

   Restrict the analysis to a sub-part of the input file
       --skip <N>
              The  N  first  sequence records of the file are discarded from the analysis and not
              reported to the output file

       --only <N>
              Only the N next sequence records of the file are analyzed. The following  sequences
              in the file are neither analyzed, neither reported to the output file.  This option
              can be used conjointly with the –skip option.

   Sequence annotated format
       --genbank
              Input file is in genbank format.

       --embl Input file is in embl format.

   fasta related format
       --fasta
              Input file is in fasta format (including OBITools fasta extensions).

   fastq related format
       --sanger
              Input  file  is  in  Sanger  fastq  format  (standard  fastq  used  by  HiSeq/MiSeq
              sequencers).

       --solexa
              Input file is in fastq format produced by Solexa (Ga IIx) sequencers.

   ecoPCR related format
       --ecopcr
              Input file is in ecoPCR format.

       --ecopcrdb
              Input is an ecoPCR database.

   Specifying the sequence type
       --nuc  Input file contains nucleic sequences.

       --prot Input file contains protein sequences.

COMMON OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Shows this help message and exits.

       --DEBUG
              Sets logging in debug mode.
