In many cases it is desirable to stitch these alignment blocks together. This tool accepts a list of genomic intervals. For every interval it performs the following: * finds all MAF blocks that overlap the interval; * sorts MAF blocks by alignment score; * stitches blocks together and resolves overlaps based on alignment score; * outputs alignments in FASTA format. ------ **Example** Here three MAF blocks overlapping a single interval are stitched together. Space between blocks 2 and 3 is filled with gaps: .. image:: ${static_path}/images/maf_icons/stitchMaf.png
