💖 GT-COMPREADS-REFDECOMPRESS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the GenomeTools manual page for gt-compreads-refdecompress, which lives in the gt compreads family and does exactly one iconic thing: it takes an RCR (that's a Reference Compressed Reads file, iykyk) and decodes it back into readable reads. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gt-compreads-refdecompress — Decodes a given RCR (Reference Compressed Reads). 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gt compreads refdecompress [option ...] (-file file)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

she's got options, and you're gonna wanna know all of them, so let's go one by one, no skips, no shortcuts 🫶

  • -v [yes|no] — be verbose. like, do you want her to talk? default is no. 🙈
  • -qnames [yes|no] — decode read names. the default behavior is to just number them instead. default is no.
  • -ref [string] — Index file (generated by the gt encseq tool) for reference genome. default: undefined. 🧚
  • -rcr [string] — specify base name of file containing RCR. default: undefined.
  • -name [string] — specify base name for decoded RCR (suffix will be .rcr.decoded). default: undefined. ✨
  • -help — display help and exit. she's always down to explain herself.
  • -version — display version information and exit. 💖
ngl bestie, -ref, -rcr, and -name all default to undefined, so if you don't fill those in, nothing's happening. the way that matters 😭
