Assembly-a ASSEMBLY, --assembly ASSEMBLY
Input assembly to be polished
Shortreads
To polish with short reads (using Pilon), provide two FASTQ files of paired-end reads
-1 SHORT1, --short1 SHORT1
FASTQ file of short reads (first reads in each pair)
-2 SHORT2, --short2 SHORT2
FASTQ file of short reads (second reads in each pair)
PacBioreads
To polish with PacBio reads (using Arrow), provide one of the following
--pb_bax PB_BAX [PB_BAX ...]
PacBio raw bax.h5 read files
--pb_bam PB_BAM
PacBio BAM read file
--pb_fasta PB_FASTA
FASTA file of PacBio reads
Genericlongreads
To polish with generic long reads, provide the following
--long_reads LONG_READS
FASTQ/FASTA file of long reads
Polishingsettings
Various settings for polishing behaviour (defaults should work well in most cases)
--no_fix_local
do not fix local misassemblies (default: False)
--min_insert MIN_INSERT
minimum valid short read insert size (default: auto)
--max_insert MAX_INSERT
maximum valid short read insert size (default: auto)
--min_align_length MIN_ALIGN_LENGTH
Minimum long read alignment length (default: 1000)
--homopolymer HOMOPOLYMER
Long read polish changes to a homopolymer of this length or greater will be ignored (default: 4)
--large LARGE
Variants of this size or greater will be assess as large variants (default: 10)
--illumina_alt ILLUMINA_ALT
When assessing long read changes with short read alignments, a variant will only be applied if the
alternative occurrences in the short read alignments exceed this percentage (default: 5)
--freebayes_qual_cutoff FREEBAYES_QUAL_CUTOFF
Reject Pilon substitutions from long reads if the FreeBayes quality is less than this value
(default: 10.0)
Othersettings--threads THREADS
CPU threads to use in alignment and consensus (default: number of CPUs)
--verbosity VERBOSITY
Level of stdout information (0 to 3, default: 2) 0 = no stdout, 1 = basic progress indicators, 2 =
extra info, 3 = debugging info
Toollocations
If these required tools are not available in your PATH variable, specify their location here (depending
on which input reads are used, some of these tools may not be required)
