NAME

       ltrsift - a graphical interface for postprocessing and classification of LTR
       retrotransposon candidates

SYNOPSIS

       ltrsift

DESCRIPTION

       LTRsift is a graphical desktop tool for semi-automatic postprocessing of de novo predicted
       LTR retrotransposon annotations, such as the ones generated by LTRharvest and LTRdigest.

CONFIGURATION

       The LAST binaries (lastal and lastdb) should be located in the system search path. If they
       are not, is it possible to specify their location using the “GT_LAST_PATH" environment
       variable prior to running LTRsift. The same applies for the BLAST location. Use
       ``GT_BLAST_PATH” to specify the the full path to the “blastall” executable.

       Style files (describing how the linear diagram of the candidate features look like) can be
       set via the LTRSIFT_STYLE_FILE environment variable. A sensible default style is built
       into LTRsift.
