E-MEM(1)

✨ E-MEM(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a User Commands situation — it's giving "genomics but make it cute" 🧬💖

💫 NAME 💫

e-mem — the way it just finds the position and length of all Maximal Exact Matches (MEMs) for very large genomes. no cap. it literally does that. 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

e-mem [options]  <reference-file>  <query-file>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically e-mem goes and finds + outputs the position and length of all maximal exact matches (MEMs) between <query-file> and <reference-file>. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -n — only match the characters a, c, g, or t, and bestie they can be upper case OR lower case, we don't discriminate 💜
• -l — sets the minimum length of a match. the default length is 50 ✨
• -b — computes forward and reverse complement matches (both! spoiled fr fr) 🫶
• -r — only computes reverse complement matches, no forward ones, we're being selective 😌
• -c — reports the query-position of a reverse complement match relative to the original query sequence 📍
• -F — forces the 4 column output format, regardless of how many reference sequence inputs there are. no matter what. 4 columns. periodt 💀
• -L — shows the length of the query sequences up on the header line 📏
• -d — sets the split size. the default value is 1 🎀
• -t — number of threads. the default is 1 thread (one single solitary thread, we respect the introverts) 🧚
• -h — shows you the possible options, like a little menu of your choices 🌈
