Bugs

       Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to
       the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031).

Description

showfeat is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It
       is part of the "Display,Feature tables" command group(s).

Name

       showfeat - Display features of a sequence in pretty format

Options

Inputsection-sequenceseqallAdditionalsection-sourcematchstring
           By default any feature source in the feature table is shown. You can set this to match any feature
           source you wish to show. The source name is usually either the name of the program that detected the
           feature or it is the feature table (eg: EMBL) that the feature came from. The source may be
           wildcarded by using '*'. If you wish to show more than one source, separate their names with the
           character '|', eg: gene* | embl Default value: *

       -typematchstring
           By default any feature type in the feature table is shown. You can set this to match any feature type
           you wish to show. See http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/WebFeat/ for a list of the EMBL feature types and see
           Appendix A of the Swissprot user manual in http://www.expasy.org/sprot/userman.html for a list of the
           Swissprot feature types. The type may be wildcarded by using '*'. If you wish to show more than one
           type, separate their names with the character '|', eg: *UTR | intron Default value: *

       -tagmatchstring
           Tags are the types of extra values that a feature may have. For example in the EMBL feature table, a
           'CDS' type of feature may have the tags '/codon', '/codon_start', '/db_xref', '/EC_number',
           '/evidence', '/exception', '/function', '/gene', '/label', '/map', '/note', '/number', '/partial',
           '/product', '/protein_id', '/pseudo', '/standard_name', '/translation', '/transl_except',
           '/transl_table', or '/usedin'. Some of these tags also have values, for example '/gene' can have the
           value of the gene name. By default any feature tag in the feature table is shown. You can set this to
           match any feature tag you wish to show. The tag may be wildcarded by using '*'. If you wish to show
           more than one tag, separate their names with the character '|', eg: gene | label Default value: *

       -valuematchstring
           Tag values are the values associated with a feature tag. Tags are the types of extra values that a
           feature may have. For example in the EMBL feature table, a 'CDS' type of feature may have the tags
           '/codon', '/codon_start', '/db_xref', '/EC_number', '/evidence', '/exception', '/function', '/gene',
           '/label', '/map', '/note', '/number', '/partial', '/product', '/protein_id', '/pseudo',
           '/standard_name', '/translation', '/transl_except', '/transl_table', or '/usedin'. Only some of these
           tags can have values, for example '/gene' can have the value of the gene name. By default any feature
           tag value in the feature table is shown. You can set this to match any feature tag value you wish to
           show. The tag value may be wildcarded by using '*'. If you wish to show more than one tag value,
           separate their names with the character '|', eg: pax* | 10 Default value: *

       -sortlist
           Default value: start

       -joinfeaturesboolean
           Default value: N

       -annotationrange
           Regions to annotate by marking. If this is left blank, then no annotation is added. A set of regions
           is specified by a set of pairs of positions followed by optional text. The positions are integers.
           They are followed by any text (but not digits when on the command-line). Examples of region
           specifications are: 24-45 new domain 56-78 match to Mouse 1-100 First part 120-156 oligo A file of
           ranges to annotate (one range per line) can be specified as '@filename'.

   Advancedsection-htmlboolean
           Default value: N

       -idboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display the ID name of the sequence. Default value: Y

       -descriptionboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display the description of the sequence. Default value: Y

       -scaleboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display the scale line. Default value: Y

       -widthinteger
           You can expand (or contract) the width of the ASCII-character graphics display of the positions of
           the features using this value. For example, a width of 80 characters would cover a standard page
           width and a width a 10 characters would be nearly unreadable. If the width is set to less than 4, the
           graphics lines and the scale line will not be displayed. Default value: 60

       -collapseboolean
           If this is set, then features from the same source and of the same type and sense are all printed on
           the same line. For instance if there are several features from the EMBL feature table (ie. the same
           source) which are all of type 'exon' in the same sense, then they will all be displayed on the same
           line. This makes it hard to distinguish overlapping features. If this is set to false then each
           feature is displayed on a separate line making it easier to distinguish where features start and end.
           Default value: N

       -forwardboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display forward sense features. Default value: Y

       -reverseboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display reverse sense features. Default value: Y

       -unknownboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display unknown sense features. (ie. features with no
           directionality - all protein features are of this type and some nucleic features (for example,
           CG-rich regions)). Default value: Y

       -strandboolean
           Set this if you wish to display the strand of the features. Protein features are always directionless
           (indicated by '0'), forward is indicated by '+' and reverse is '-'. Default value: N

       -originboolean
           Set this if you wish to display the origin of the features. The source name is usually either the
           name of the program that detected the feature or it is the name of the feature table (eg: EMBL) that
           the feature came from. Default value: N

       -positionboolean
           Set this if you wish to display the start and end position of the features. If several features are
           being displayed on the same line, then the start and end positions will be joined by a comma, for
           example: '189-189,225-225'. Default value: N

       -typeboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display the type of the features. Default value: Y

       -tagsboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display the tags and values of the features. Default
           value: N

       -valuesboolean
           Set this to be false if you do not wish to display the tag values of the features. If this is set to
           be false, only the tag names will be displayed. If the tags are not displayed, then the values will
           not be displayed. The value of the 'translation' tag is never displayed as it is often extremely
           long. Default value: Y

       -stricttagsboolean
           By default if any tag/value pair in a feature matches the specified tag and value, then all the
           tags/value pairs of that feature will be displayed. If this is set to be true, then only those
           tag/value pairs in a feature that match the specified tag and value will be displayed. Default value:
           N
