NAME

create_matrix - calculate the genome abundance similarity matrix

SYNOPSIS

create_matrix [options] NAMES

DESCRIPTION

Calculate the similarity matrix.

First, a set of reads is simulated for every reference genome using a read simulator from core/tools.py specified via -s. Second, the simulated reads of each species are mapped against all reference genomes using the mapper specified with -m. Third, the resulting SAM-files are analyzed to calculate the similarity matrix. The similarity matrix is stored as a numpy file (-o).

OPTIONS

Filename of the names file; the plain text names file should contain one name per line. The name is used as identifier in the whole algorithm.
