MAPMERS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is mapMers — it lives in section 1 of the User Commands manual, and it's the one that reports statistics of mapping kmers to sequences. that's the whole job. it takes your kmers, it takes your sequences, it tells you what's going on. iconic behaviour honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mapMers {-stats|-regions|-details} -m mersize -mers mers -seq fasta

so like, you pick exactly one of the three report modes (-stats, -regions, -details), and then you feed it the -m mersize, the -mers database, and the -seq file. that's the recipe. no notes. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -stats — this one reports the mean, minimum, and maximum for each sequence, plus a log2 histogram of the counts. it's giving data. it's giving spreadsheets but make it cute. 📊✨
• -regions — reports regions with kmer coverage 🗺️ like, it shows you where in the sequence the kmers are actually showing up.
• -details — for every single kmer in the sequence, it reports the forward and reverse count in the database. so detailed. so thorough. main character energy for real 🔍💖
• -m mersize — okay bestie, ngl, the original page literally gives no description for this one, it's just sitting there being mysterious 🙈 so we're not gonna make anything up about it. it's the mersize. it's there. it's serving silence. 🤫
• -mers mers — this is your meryl(1) database. the kmer source of truth. bring the right one or don't come at all 🫶
• -seq fasta — your input sequence file, in fasta. yes that fasta. the one you definitely remembered to check the path on. 💀

fr fr, the {...} in the synopsis is a vibe check: pick one of -stats, -regions, or -details. don't try to be greedy with all three, that's not the assignment.
