Input¶

-1 SHORT1, --short1 SHORT1

FASTQ file of first short reads in each pair (required)

-2 SHORT2, --short2 SHORT2

FASTQ file of second short reads in each pair (required)

-s UNPAIRED, --unpaired UNPAIRED

FASTQ file of unpaired short reads (optional)

-l LONG, --long LONG

FASTQ or FASTA file of long reads (optional)

Output¶

-o OUT, --out OUT

Output directory (required)

--verbosity VERBOSITY

Level of stdout and log file information (default: 1)

0 = no stdout,

1 = basic progress indicators,

2 = extra info,

3 = debugging info

--min_fasta_length MIN_FASTA_LENGTH

Exclude contigs from the FASTA file which are shorter than this length (default: 100)

--keep KEEP

Level of file retention (default: 1)

0 = only keep final files: assembly (FASTA,GFA and log),

1 = also save graphs at main checkpoints,

2 = also keep SAM (enables fast rerun in different mode),

3 = keep all temp files and save all graphs (for debugging)

--vcf

Produce a VCF by mapping the short reads to the final assembly (experimental, default: do not produce a vcf file)

Other¶

-t THREADS, --threads THREADS

Number of threads used (default: 4)

--mode {conservative,normal,bold}

Bridging mode (default: normal)

conservative = smaller contigs, lowest misassembly rate

normal = moderate contig size and misassembly rate

bold = longest contigs, higher misassembly rate

--linear_seqs LINEAR_SEQS

The expected number of linear (i.e. non-circular) sequences in the underlying sequence (default: 0)
