LIRICAL Options

This page summarizes the options explained in detail in the Running LIRICAL section.

Download

The download command downloads files required to run LIRICAL:

  • Homo_sampiens_gene_info.gz
  • hp.obo
  • phenotype.hpoa
  • mim2gene_medgen

By default, LIRICAL will create a directory called data and download the files there. LIRICAL will download to a non-default directory if the user passes the -d option.
