Fetch parents from the database according to ID.

positional arguments:

db

Database to use. If a GFF or GTF file is provided instead for this argument, a database will be created for you. This can take some time (several minutes), so it’s best to create one ahead of time.

options:

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--limit LIMIT

Feature type (string), or level (integer). No parents below this level will be returned (default: -)

--exclude EXCLUDE

Comma-separated list of featuretypes to filter out (like grep -v) (default: -)

--exclude-self

Use this to suppress reporting the IDs you’ve provided. (default: False)
