💖 MERCI(1) 💖

ok bestie, so this is the manual page for merci — a user command, and honestly? it's giving "little tool, big job". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

merci — short-read biological sequence assembler 🌸

like, it assembles short-read biological sequences. that's the whole vibe. iconic of it tbh 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so the usage basically looks like this:

[merci options]

and then, separately:

[assembly options]

and here's the full rundown of the options, no skips, no shortcuts, we're doing all of them 💖

• -verbose — (1 arg) : verbosity level — and the default is '1'. so it's already chatty at level 1 unless you say otherwise ✨
• -nb-cores — (1 arg) : number of threads — default is '0'. yep, zero. that's the default, don't come for me 🎀
• -kmer-size — (1 arg) : kmer size 🌸
• -assembly — (1 arg) : assembly to improve — like, you hand it an assembly and it makes it better. glow-up behaviour fr 🔥
• -reads — (1 arg) : input reads (fasta/fastq/compressed) — so yes bestie, fasta, fastq, or compressed, all welcome 💜

ngl that's the whole option list, short and sweet. no cap. 👑
