SYNOPSIS

mirabait [-f <fromtype>] [-t <totype> [-t <totype> ...]] [-iklor] baitfile infile <basename_for_outfile(s)>

DESCRIPTION

mirabait selects reads from a read collection which are partly similar or equal to sequences defined as target baits. Similarity is defined by finding a user-adjustable number of common k-mers (sequences of k consecutive bases) which are the same in the bait sequences and the screened sequences to be selected, either in forward or reverse complement direction.

OPTIONS

-f <fromtype>

load this type of project files, where fromtype is:

caf

sequences from CAF

maf

sequences from MAF

phd

sequences from a PHD

gbf

sequences from a GBF

fasta

sequences from a FASTA

fastq

sequences from a FASTQ

-t <totype>

write the sequences to this type (multiple mentions of -t are allowed):

fasta

sequences to FASTA

fastq

sequences to FASTQ

caf

sequences to CAF

maf

sequences to MAF

txt

sequence names to text file

-k

k-mer, length of bait in bases (<32, default=31)

-n

Min. number of k-mer baits needed (default=1)

-i

Inverse hit: writes only sequences that do not hit bait

-r

No checking of reverse complement direction

-o

fastq quality Offset (only for -f = 'fastq') Offset of quality values in FASTQ file. Default: 33 A value of 0 tries to automatically recognise.
