RAMPLER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

rampler — a whole module for sampling genomic sequences, bestie 💖 like it literally does the most for your FASTA/FASTQ files and asks for nothing back.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rampler [options ...] <mode>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the vibe is: you run rampler, you hand it some options, and then you tell it which mode you want. That's the whole thing. It's giving "simple, iconic, does exactly what it says." 👑

🎀 <mode> 🎀

🌈 subsample <sequences> <reference length> <coverage> [<coverage> ...]

• <sequences> — your input file, in FASTA/FASTQ format (it can be compressed with gzip, no stress 🫶). These are the sequences that are getting subsampled.
• <reference length> — an integer, and it means the length of the reference genome (or assembly) that your sequences came from. fr fr, just the number.
• <coverage> — an integer meaning the coverage you want for the subsampled sequences. And bestie, notice the [<coverage> ...] — you can pass more than one. 💅

🦋 split <sequences> <chunk size>

• <sequences> — your input file, again in FASTA/FASTQ format (gzip compression? allowed, we love that ✨). These are the sequences that are gonna get chopped into smaller chunks.
• <chunk size> — an integer, and it's the desired chunk size in bytes. bytes, not vibes. 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o, --out-directory — the directory where the sampled files get created. default: the current directory. so if you don't say anything, it just drops them right where you're standing. 🙈
• --version — prints the version number. that's it, that's the whole job. ⭐
• -h, --help — prints the usage. your little "wait what were the flags again" bestie. 🎀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

This manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution, and can be used for any other usage of the program. slay, honestly. 💖

okay that's the whole page!! this was rampler 1.1.0, dated June 2018 — yes she's a little vintage, and yes she still ate. 🫶✨💜
