HTML summary of Segtools command outputs

  1. The commands offered by the Segtools package and their associated inputs and outputs. The first four commands analyze a single segmentation. The following three commands compare a segmentation to another segmentation or to an annotation. The last four commands generate no visualizations and are utilities to be used in conjunction with the other Segtools commands. In each row of the table, the second column indicates the input file types ("S" for segmentation, "A" for annotation, "G" for genomedata), and the fourth column indicates how the outputs are visualized (and a reference to an example figure in this article if one exists). "PR curve" refers to a precision-recall curve.
