💖 FILTER_CONTIGS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're doing a filter_contigs moment — and it's giving "user command, but make it cute." no cap, this is the manual page for filter_contigs (that's the manual name, btw, in case you were wondering who the main character is here). ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

filter_contigs — Simulate sequencing reads from references.

like. that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fq2fa tmp.fq tmp.fa [...]

that's it. that's the vibe. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

filter_contigs — Convert Fastq sequences to Fasta sequences.

and then, because apparently we're just casually dropping commands in here, you also get this little group of invocations:

fq2fa --paired tmp.fq tmp.fa fq2fa --merge tmp_1.fq tmp_2.fq
tmp.fa

literally copy it as-is, bestie, don't get creative with the whitespace. 💅

🍓 Allowed Options: 🍓

  • --min_contig arg (=100) — filter out reads containing 'N'. yes that is what the option description says. the option is called --min_contig and it takes an arg, defaulting to =100, and the thing it does is filter out reads containing 'N'. we don't make the rules, we just report them faithfully. 💀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

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

and that's a wrap on filter_contigs — this is filter_contigs version 1.1.3, dated March 2020, and no I will not be taking questions about the synopsis. slay, stay hydrated, read your manpages. 💖🌈⭐
