πŸ’– PBSERVICE(1) β€” the Pacific Biosciences SMRT service interface, bestie πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's all about a lil tool called pbservice. she's giving utility, she's giving pipeline energy, and honestly? we stan. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

pbservice β€” the Pacific Biosciences SMRT service interface 🌈🧬

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pbservice [options] files...

yes bestie, she takes options AND files. plural. she's flexible like that πŸ’…

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: pbservice is a tool that does three whole things:

  • it imports datasets πŸ“₯
  • it converts and imports fasta files 🧬
  • and it runs analysis jobs πŸ”₯

that's it. that's the whole description. short, sweet, and she ate πŸ’– no notes.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

so like, for a complete description of options you gotta go see the help menu β€” this page is keeping it mysterious, main character energy honestly πŸ™ˆ

but here's what we do know:

  • -h, --help β€” shows a lil summary of the options. your girl when you're lost, fr fr 🌸
  • --version β€” shows the version of the program. so you know exactly which era of pbservice you're dealing with πŸ‘‘β­
