💖 NAME 💖

aln2wig — convert alignments to wig files 🧚

like. the name literally tells you. aln (alignments) ➡️ wig (wig files). main character naming energy fr fr.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

aln2wig [parameters] -f filename

so you give it some parameters, you give it a filename with -f, and it goes to work. periodt.

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

okay so here's the whole menu, and it's a short menu, we love a low-effort king 👑

• -f — the input filename, bestie. this is your alignment file and it's in either psl or shrimp format. yes, shrimp. iconic name. no notes. 🍤
• -s — use span notation ✨ flip this on if you want your output in span notation instead of... whatever the other one is. the span girlies know.
• -t — the name of the track 🎀 give your wig file a cute little track label, like a name tag but for genomics.

ngl -f is the only one you have to pass, but the other two are right there being adorable so do with that what you will 💖
