Offset of first sampled kmer [default: 0]

-n, --number <number>

Numer of sampled kmers [default: 8]

-M, --out-mirrorhist <out_mirrorhist>

Compute histogram of mismatches against palindrome

-MO, --mirror-offset <mirror_offset>

Offset of palindrome center from read start [default: 4]

-Ml, --mirror-length <mirror_length>

Palindrome length is 2N+1 [default: 10]

-I, --out-isizehist <out_isizehist>

Arguments

READFILE

Required argument(s)

simulate

Pseudo-Randomly select reads from input file(s).

Input read files may be in SAM, BAM or (gzipped) FastQ format (.sam, .bam, .fq, .fastq, .fq.gz or .fastq.gz).

If a reverse read output filename is provided, input is assumed to be paired reads given either as sam/bam file(s) or pairs of FastQ files.

metacov simulate [OPTIONS] FILE [FILE...]

Options

-k, --khist <khist>

Match distribution of reads to statistics gathered with metacov scan.

-K, --klen <klen>

Length of k-mer

-p, --proportions <proportions>

Specify the proportions in which each genome should occur.

-o, --out <fwd_outfn>

Name of output forward reads fastq file. [required]

-o2, --out2 <rev_outfn>

Name of output reverse reads fastq file. [required]

-n, --num-reads <num_reads>

Number of reads to sample

-rs, --rndSeed <rndseed>

Random seed

-ss, --seqSys <seqsys>

Name of Illumina sequencing system

-l, --len <rlen>

Read length

-m, --mflen <mflen>

Mean insert size

-s, --sdev <sdev>

Stddev of insert size
