πŸ‘‘ KTIMPORTMGRAST(1) β€” the manual page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to ktImportMGRAST, a User Commands moment ✨ (it lives in section 1 of the manual, iykyk). Grab a snack, we're building zoomable pie charts out of metagenomic data and it's gonna be adorable.


🌸 NAME 🌸

ktImportMGRAST β€” explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts πŸ₯§πŸ¦‹


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Creates a Krona chart from MG-RAST organism or functional analyses. literally that's the whole vibe, it takes your MG-RAST output and turns it into a gorgeous interactive chart πŸ’–

ktImportMGRAST \

       [options] \ mgrast_table_1[,name_1] \ [mgrast_table_2[,name_2]] \
       ...

Here's the tea on every piece of that synopsis, no cap πŸ«–:

  • mgrast_table β€” A table exported from MG-RAST. It can be from organism or functional analysis, but all tables being imported should be consistent. By default, separate datasets will be created for each input (see [-c]). so like… don't mix and match, bestie, pick a lane πŸ’…
  • name β€” A name to show in the list of datasets in the Krona chart (only if multiple input files are present and [-c] is not specified). By default, the basename of the file will be used. it's giving "let me label my children" πŸŽ€

πŸ”₯ OPTIONS πŸ”₯

Every single flag, coming right up, and yes we're doing all of them πŸ‘‘

  • -o <string> β€” Output file name. [Default: 'mg-rast.krona.html'] β€” name your baby 🍼
  • -n <string> β€” Name of the highest level. [Default: 'all'] β€” the top of the hierarchy, the main character of the whole chart πŸ‘‘
  • -c β€” Combine data from each file, rather than creating separate datasets within the chart. one big happy family 🫢
  • -d <integer> β€” Maximum depth of wedges to include in the chart. how deep are we going?? πŸ™ˆ
  • -x <integer> β€” Hue (0-360) for "bad" scores. [Default: '0'] β€” red-flag energy, literally πŸ’€
  • -y <integer> β€” Hue (0-360) for "good" scores. [Default: '120'] β€” green-flag energy, we love to see it 🌈
  • -p β€” Use percent identity for average scores instead of log[10] e-value. swap the math, slay ✨
  • -u <string> β€” URL of Krona resources to use instead of bundling them with the chart (e.g. "http://krona.sourceforge.net"). Reduces size of charts and allows updates, though charts will not work without access to this URL.
⚠️ bestie listen β€” that last one is a real trade-off, not a flex. Smaller charts + updates = yes, but if you can't reach that URL, the chart just… won't work. no notes, that's just how it is 😭

πŸŽ€ a lil sign-off πŸŽ€

That's the whole page, bestie! This one's ktImportMGRAST version 2.8, and it was dated June 2021 β€” an icon, a legend, and the moment. go forth and chart your metagenomes πŸ’–βœ¨πŸ§š
