Usage

We support the use of WGDI to complete the work on the icon number.

Common file

  • conf

The conf file contains parameters required for the corresponding operation, which are read when WGDI is performed. Using wgdi -* ? > *.conf to get the configuration file in the current directory and modify it to run. If you don’t know which files are needed, you can view it through wgdi -* ? or wgdi -* help or wgdi -* example. These three commands are equivalent.

In conf file: gff1 , lens1 , genome1_name and gff2, lens2, genome2_name represent the files of species 1 and 2 respectively. We will no longer explain these in this documentation.

Tips

  • You can use wgdi -conf ? > total.conf generates a total.conf file with all parameters, and when you modify the parameters and run WGDI, WGDI will only read the parameters corresponding to the total.conf file to execute your command.

  • When a folder runs WGDI, WGDI automatically generates results for you in the background, and you can exit the folder and go to the next folder to start working.

  • WGDI performs the conf file for the current folder, so you can copy the conf file in bulk and make parameter modifications appied to the target folder.
