Unicycler is an assembly pipeline for bacterial genomes. It can
assemble Illumina-only read sets where it functions as a SPAdes-optimiser.
It can also assembly long-read-only sets (PacBio or Nanopore) where it runs
a miniasm+Racon pipeline. For the best possible assemblies, give it both
Illumina reads and long reads, and it will conduct a hybrid assembly.
- -h, --help
- Show this help message and exit
- --help_all
- Show a help message with all program options
- --version
- Show Unicycler's version number
- -1 SHORT1, --short1 SHORT1
- FASTQ file of first short reads in each pair (required)
- -2 SHORT2, --short2 SHORT2
- FASTQ file of second short reads in each pair (required)
- -s UNPAIRED,
--unpaired UNPAIRED
- FASTQ file of unpaired short reads (optional)
- -l LONG, --long
LONG
- FASTQ or FASTA file of long reads (optional)
- -o OUT, --out
OUT
- Output directory (required)
- --verbosity
VERBOSITY
- Level of stdout and log file information (default: 1)
- 0 = no stdout,
- 1 = basic progress indicators,
- 2 = extra info,
- 3 = debugging info
- --min_fasta_length
MIN_FASTA_LENGTH
- Exclude contigs from the FASTA file which are shorter than this length
(default: 100)
- --keep KEEP
- Level of file retention (default: 1)
- 0 = only keep final files: assembly (FASTA,GFA and log),
- 1 = also save graphs at main checkpoints,
- 2 = also keep SAM (enables fast rerun in different mode),
- 3 = keep all temp files and save all graphs (for debugging)
- --vcf
- Produce a VCF by mapping the short reads to the final assembly
(experimental, default: do not produce a vcf file)
