precompute database?

[mrvollger]

Hi,

Is it possible to precompute the liftoff database from a gff without running the whole pipeline. The use case is that I have one reference and gff and I want to liftoff those annotations onto many different assemblies.

Thanks!

hi Mitchel,
right now it isn't possible to precompute a database without running the whole pipeline, but i will add that option in a future release. for now, after you run liftoff the first time with a new gff file, it will save the database in the current directory, and then you can use the -db parameter to specify the database name instead of -g. This will avoid rebuilding the database every time.
