domainator sort_contigs

Sort contigs by their Domain_Search score.

Sort contigs by Domain_Search score.

This matches the output ordering used by domainator domain_search when --max_hits is set.
It is primarily intended for post-processing domain_search output written without
--max_hits, where the temporary hit_best_score annotation is not preserved in the
written GenBank file.

Give at least one of these outputs: --genbank_out, --fasta_out. - as an input or output means standard input or output, where the option says it is allowed.

Option Value Default Description
-v, --verbose show debug output, and a traceback for errors.
-q, --quiet show errors only: no progress messages or warnings.
-i, --input FILE ... required GenBank files. Use - to read standard input.
-o, --genbank_out FILE Write the records to this GenBank file. Use - for standard output.
--fasta_out FILE Write the records to this FASTA file. Use - for standard output.
--max_hits INTEGER Maximum number of contigs to return, keeping the best-scoring ones. If not supplied, return all contigs.
--domains STRING ... If supplied, sort by the best Domainator annotation score from domains with these names instead of Domain_Search annotation scores. Additive with --domains_file.
--domains_file FILE Like --domains, but read the domain names from this file, one per line. Additive with --domains.
--databases STRING ... When used with --domains, only consider Domainator annotations from these databases.

Every command also takes --config FILE (options from a JSON or YAML file, keyed by option name) and --print_config.
