    Utility script for analyzing Cufflinks data: uses a tracking file (produced by cuffcompare) to filter a GTF file of transcripts (usually the transcripts
    produced by cufflinks). Filtering is done by extracting transcript IDs from tracking file and then filtering the GTF so that the output GTF contains only
    transcript found in the tracking file. Because a tracking file has multiple samples, a sample number is used to filter transcripts for
    a particular sample.
