strictlyincludegff

strictlyincludegff filters GFF (General Feature Format) entries to identify and print genomic elements that are strictly contained within a specified template for genome annotation and comparative genomics.


Key Features:

  • Element Identification: Filters and outputs genomic features from GFF files that are completely contained within a provided template region.
  • GFF File Support: Operates on GFF (General Feature Format) input to select strictly included features for downstream analysis.
  • Galaxy Integration: Executes within the Galaxy framework and interfaces with Galaxy workflows and services.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genome Annotation: Refines annotations by selecting features strictly nested within target regions to ensure precise feature assignment.
  • Comparative Genomics: Enables comparison of conserved or unique nested features across species or strains by extracting strictly included elements.

Methodology:

Integrates with the Galaxy platform via the Galaxy API and uses the Bioblend library for execution; implemented as part of custom web services around the Galaxy@Pasteur instance.
