NAME

coverm make - Generate BAM files through mapping (version: 0.5.0)

SYNOPSIS

coverm make <REFERENCE> <READ_DEFINITION> <OUTPUT> ..

DESCRIPTION

coverm make generates BAM files by read mapping a set of reads against a reference FASTA database.

READ MAPPING PARAMETERS

-1 PATH ..

Forward FASTA/Q file(s) for mapping. These may be gzipped or not.

-2 PATH ..

Reverse FASTA/Q file(s) for mapping. These may be gzipped or not.

-c, --coupled PATH ..

One or more pairs of forward and reverse possibly gzipped FASTA/Q files for mapping in order <sample1_R1.fq.gz> <sample1_R2.fq.gz> <sample2_R1.fq.gz> <sample2_R2.fq.gz> ..

--interleaved PATH ..

Interleaved FASTA/Q files(s) for mapping. These may be gzipped or not.

--single PATH ..

Unpaired FASTA/Q files(s) for mapping. These may be gzipped or not.

REFERENCE

-r, --reference PATH

FASTA file of contigs e.g. concatenated genomes or metagenome assembly, or minimap2 index (with --minimap2-reference-is-index), or BWA index stem (with -p bwa-mem). [required]

MAPPING ALGORITHM OPTIONS

-p, --mapper NAME

Underlying mapping software used [default: minimap2-sr]. One of:
name description
minimap2-sr minimap2 with '-x sr' option
bwa-mem bwa mem using default parameters
minimap2-ont minimap2 with '-x map-ont' option
minimap2-pb minimap2 with '-x map-pb' option
minimap2-no-preset minimap2 with no '-x' option
--minimap2-params PARAMS

Extra parameters to provide to minimap2, both indexing command (if used) and for mapping. Note that usage of this parameter has security implications if untrusted input is specified. '-a' is always specified to minimap2. [default: none]

--minimap2-reference-is-index

Treat reference as a minimap2 database, not as a FASTA file. [default: not set]

--bwa-params PARAMS

Extra parameters to provide to BWA. Note that usage of this parameter has security implications if untrusted input is specified. [default: none]

OUTPUT

-o, --output-directory DIR

Where generated BAM files will go. The directory will be created if it does not exist. [required]

--discard-unmapped

Exclude unmapped reads from cached BAM files. [default: not set]

GENERAL OPTIONS

-t, --threads INT

Number of threads for mapping and sorting. [default: 1]

-h, --help

Output a short usage message. [default: not set]

--full-help

Output a full help message and display in 'man'. [default: not set]

--full-help-roff

Output a full help message in raw ROFF format for conversion to other formats. [default: not set]

-v, --verbose

Print extra debugging information. [default: not set]

-q, --quiet

Unless there is an error, do not print log messages. [default: not set]

EXIT STATUS

0

Successful program execution.

1

Unsuccessful program execution.

101

The program panicked.
