seer - sequence element enrichment analysis

       This manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution and can be used for any other usage
       of the program.

seer 1.1.2                                         March 2017                                            SEER(1)

       Sequence Element Enrichment Analysis

       The  .pheno file format is tab separated, two columns with sample name, one with phenotype. Phenotypes of
       only 0 or 1 will be treated as binary, any other value and the phenotype will be treated as quantitative.
       Therefore for missing phenotype values the sample should simply be excluded from this file.

       Basic usage:

              seer -k dsm_input.txt.gz --pheno metadata.pheno > significant_kmers.txt

       To use the kmds output, increase execution speed and give the most complete output

              seer -k filtered.gz --pheno metadata.pheno --struct filtered.dsm --threads 4 --print_samples

       --pval arg (=10e-8)
              p-value threshold for final logistic test. Set to 1 to show all

   Otheroptions:--print_samples
              print lists of samples significant kmers were found in

       --version
              prints version and exits
