๐ HINGE(1) ๐
okay so bestie, welcome to hinge โ it's an assembler for long-read sequencing data โจ yes THE hinge, the one in section 1 of the manual, she's iconic, she's built different, and she's about to assemble your reads into something gorgeous ๐งฌ๐
โจ SYNOPSIS โจ
hinge {subcommand} options files
that's the whole vibe fr fr โ you pick a subcommand, you throw some options at it, you hand her some files, and she goes ๐
๐ธ OPTIONS ๐ธ
so the subcommands are all down below, one by one, no cap. and here's the little secret that saves your life: run each subcommand without arguments and she'll print the usage info for you ๐ซถ like she's not gonna gatekeep, she'll just tell you what she wants.
filterโ filter out short reads and long chimeric reads ๐ฎ like we're not keeping the messy ones, we're not keeping the little ones, we're curating ๐maximalโ get maximal reads. that's it, that's the job, she said maximal and she MEANT maximal ๐ฅlayoutโ generate a layout for assembly ๐ the blueprint era, the planning era, main character energy โจclipโ prune and clip the output of thelayoutcommand โ๏ธ trim trim trim, snip snip, gorgeous ๐draft-pathโ get the assembly graph as a list of nodes ๐ nodes only, bestie, no extra frillsdraftโ construct draft assembly ๐๏ธ the rough draft, the first pass, the "we'll fix it later" era but make it science ๐correct-headโ convert a fasta file to daligner-specific format ๐ format glow-up, we love a transformation ๐ซconsensusโ construct consensus sequence ๐ค everybody agrees, everybody's on the same page, unity, slay ๐gfaโ Create a graphical fragment assembly file from consensus output ๐จ graphical fragment assembly file, from the consensus output, exactly that, no notes ๐visualize,visualiseโ ๐ yes bestie, both spellings, she's bilingual, she's inclusive, pick whichever one feels right in your heart ๐
no gatekeeping in this household: if you're stuck, just run the subcommand with zero arguments and let her talk to you ๐ฃ๏ธ๐
and that's the page, bestie!! ๐ฆ this whole thing is from October 2016, and it lives in the HINGE(1) section of the manual โ mwah, go assemble something beautiful, you're doing amazing sweetie ๐ โจ๐
