Command line arguments 

Count ontology term(s)
Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
  [-oboterms]          obo        Obo term filename and optional format, or
                                  reference (input query)
  [-outfile]           outfile    [stdout] Output file name

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers: (none)
   Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
   -subclasses         boolean    [N] Extend the query matches to include all
                                  terms which are specialisations
                                  (sub-classes) of the matched terms.
   -obsolete           boolean    [N] The default behaviour is to not use or
                                  return obsolete terms. This option if set
                                  will include all terms.

Input file format

The input is a standard EMBOSS ontology query.

The major ontology sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations are EDAM, GO (gene Ontology) and SO (Sequence Ontology).

Data can also be read from ontology output in "obo" format written by an EMBOSS application.
