SIMKAMINCORE(1)

✨ SIMKAMINCORE(1) — like, the whole vibe ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Commands manual, and honestly? it's giving bioinformatics royalty. let's get into it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

simkaMinCore — a comparative metagenomics method dedicated to NGS datasets. no cap, that's the whole tagline. 🧬✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

simkaMin [option]

just the one lil invocation, she's lowkey simple like that 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so, real talk, this page is basically a menu of everything simkaMinCore can do, grouped by what kind of thing you're doing. let's break it down 🫶

💫 [Distance computation options] 💫

• sketch — transform datasets into small sketches of k-mers and their abundance. tiny lil glow-up versions of your data, iconic 🔥
• distance — compute Jaccard and Bray-Curtis distances between sketches. yes bestie, two distance metrics, we love a multi-talented queen 👑

🌈 [Distance matrix manipulation options] 🌈

• export — export distance matrices stored in binary format. the binary format is stored away, and this is how you get it back out 💜

🦋 [Sketch options] 🦋

• append — merge multiple sketch files into a single one. combine, consolidate, slay ✨
• info — list datasets contained in a sketch file. a little peek behind the curtain, we're nosy and that's fine 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

This manpage was written by Shayan Doust for the Debian distribution and can be used for any other usage of the program. periodt 💅

and that's the tea, bestie — simkaMinCore version 1.5.1, dated September 2019. go forth and sketch responsibly 🎀✨🦋
