This tool provides an algorithm for grouping corresponding features in multiple runs of label-free experiments. For more details and algorithm-specific parameters (set in the ini file) see "Detailed Description" in the algorithm documentation.
FeatureLinkerUnlabeledQT takes several feature maps (featureXML files) and stores the corresponding features in a consensus map (consensusXML file). Feature maps can be created from MS experiments (peak data) using one of the FeatureFinder TOPP tools.
The command line parameters of this tool are:
FeatureLinkerUnlabeledQT -- Groups corresponding features from multiple maps.
Version: 1.11.1 Nov 14 2013, 11:18:15, Revision: 11976
Usage:
  FeatureLinkerUnlabeledQT <options>
This tool has algoritm parameters that are not shown here! Please check the ini file for a detailed descripti
on or use the --helphelp option.
Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <files>*        Input files separated by blanks (valid formats: 'featureXML', 'consensusXML')
  -out <file>*        Output file (valid formats: 'consensusXML')
                      
  -keep_subelements   For consensusXML input only: If set, the sub-features of the inputs are transferred to 
                      the output.
                      
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>         Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>        Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>   Writes the default configuration file
  --help              Shows options
  --helphelp          Shows all options (including advanced)
The following configuration subsections are valid:

You can write an example INI file using the '-write_ini' option.
Documentation of subsection parameters can be found in the doxygen documentation or the INIFileEditor.
