MECAT(1)

💖 MECAT(1) — User Commands 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a whole moment ✨ it's the mecat page, from the User Commands section, and it's giving "one tool, four whole personalities" 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

mecat — Generate config file or assemble, trim or correct SMRT data 💅

no cap, that's the whole glow-up in one line.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mecat correct|assemble|config cfg_fname

that's it. that's the vibe. one command, pick your mode, hand it a cfg_fname and let it cook 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

MECAT (v2) is an ultra-fast and accurate mapping, error correcting and de novo assembly tools for single molecula sequencing (SMRT) reads. like… it maps, it corrects errors, it assembles de novo, and it does all of it fast. main character energy fr fr 👑

The parameters are defined as below — read them like a menu, because that's literally what they are 🧚:

• correct — Correct rawreads. your raw reads go in, corrected reads come out, periodt 💖
• trim — Trim corrected reads. yes, it's a real mode, even though the synopsis up there is being mysterious about it 🙈
• assemble — Generate contigs. contigs!! the whole point!! 🔥
• config — Generate default config file. aka get yourself a cfg_fname to feed the other three 🌈

lowkey important: the synopsis shows correct|assemble|config, but trim is right there in the parameters list. so if you're trimming, you're not hallucinating, bestie. ✨

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left 🫶 written by mecat, dated July 2020, and filed under MECAT(1) in the User Commands girlies. bye bestie, go assemble something iconic 💅🌸
