> | **Argument** | -exportgeneric |
> | **Short Description** | Customize which data you want to export. |
> | **Description** | The option** -exportgeneric** allows exporting the data obtained for each sequence into a tabular  
> text file. The resulting file contains one line per sequence, while the columns can be customized. The  
> corresponding settings in the properties file (**GenericExportParameters**) determine how  
> columns and items are separated and which data should be exactly exported.  
> Column and item separators can be defined as a comma, semicolon, tabulator, whitespace, or vertical bar. There are 54 different items available, they can be grouped as follows:<br>- General Sequence information such as the sequence name or its length.  
> *seq_name, seq_desc, seq_data, seq_length*
> - Summarized Blast information like the total number of blast hits.  
> *blast_hit_count, blast_min_eval, blast_sim_mean*
> - Specific information about each Blast hit such as its hit description, length, e-value or alignment length.  
> *blast_hits_desc, blast_hits_tax, blast_hits_eval, blast_hits_length, blast_hits_alignlength*  
> *blast_hits_pos, blast_hits_sim, blast_hits_hsphit, blast_hits_query, blast_hits_hspcount*  
> *blast_hits_frame, blast_hits_geneid, blast_hits_acc, blast_hits_score*
> - Specific information about the top blast hit (highest bit score).  
> *blast_tophit_desc, blast_tophit_tax, blast_tophit_eval, blast_tophit_length*  
> *blast_tophit_alignlength, blast_tophit_pos, blast_tophit_sim, blast_tophit_hsphit*  
> *blast_tophit_query, blast_tophit_hspcount, blast_tophit_frame, blast_tophit_geneid*  
> *blast_tophit_acc, blast_tophit_score*
> - All GO Mapping candidate GO terms and evidence codes.  
> *mapping_genename, mapping_tax, mapping_xref, mapping_xref_db*  
> *mapping_goid, mapping_goname, mapping_gocategory*
> - Annotated GO terms and enzyme codes.  
> *annot_count, annot_goid, annot_goterm, annot_gocategory, enzyme_code, enzyme_name*
> - Detailed information about InterPro results like obtained domains, families as well as GO terms.  
> *ips_acc, ips_type, ips_name, ips_sig, ips_goid, ips_goname, ips_gocategory* |
