TRUSPADES(1)

TRUSPADES 💖 (section 1, bestie)

okay so welcome to the truspades manual page, section 1, and honestly? it's giving iconic. grab a snack 🍓, we're assembling genomes.

---

✨ NAME ✨

truspades — the truSPAdes genome assembler. that's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

truspades [options] -o <output_dir>

that's the whole vibe: you give it options, you give it an output dir, it does its thing. slay.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so truspades is the main executable for the truSPAdes software, periodt. what it does is: it takes the genomic reads you hand it, it assembles them (yes, like the main character it is 👑), and then it drops the resulting assembly right into <output_dir>.

no cap, that's the whole job. simple, gorgeous, efficient. 🧚

💖 OPTIONS 💖

🎀 Basic options 🎀

• -o <output_dir> — the directory where ALL the resulting files go. this one is required, bestie, like you cannot skip it, it's not optional, it's the whole point 🙈
• --test — runs truSPAdes on a toy dataset, so you can vibe check it before committing to the real thing ✨
• -h/--help — prints this usage message. your girl when you're lost 💀
• -t/--threads <int> — number of threads. more threads = more parallel energy, and we love that for you 🔥
• --continue — continues an interrupted launch. it's giving "we were so close, let's finish this" 🫶
• --construct-dataset — parses the dataset from the input folder 🎀

🌈 Input options 🌈

• --input-dir <directory> — directory with your input data. ⚠️ heads up: that directory should contain only files with reads, nothing else, keep it clean bestie. and the cute part is you can use this option several times to hand over several input directories at once 💖
• --dataset <file>:w: — file with dataset description. that's literally the whole thing, <file>:w: and all, i'm not touching it, i'm just relaying it 💅

---

💀 real talk: -o <output_dir> is marked required in the original and i am not going to let you forget it. no output dir, no assembly, no slay.
