produce help message
Contigs in (gzipped) fasta file format [Mandatory]
Base file name and path for each bin. The default output is fasta format. Use -l option to output only contig names [Mandatory].
A file having mean and variance of base coverage depth (tab delimited; the first column should be contig names, and the first row will be considered as the header and be skipped) [Optional].
Minimum size of a contig for binning (should be >=1500).
Percentage of 'good' contigs considered for binning decided by connection among contigs. The greater, the more sensitive.
Minimum score of a edge for binning (should be between 1 and 99). The greater, the more specific.
Maximum number of edges per node. The greater, the more sensitive.
TNF probability cutoff for building TNF graph. Use it to skip the preparation step. (0: auto).
Turning off additional binning for lost or small contigs.
When a coverage file without variance (from third party tools) is used instead of abdFile from jgi_summarize_bam_contig_depths.
Minimum mean coverage of a contig in each library for binning.
Minimum total effective mean coverage of a contig (sum of depth over minCV) for binning.

-s [ --minClsSize ] arg (=200000) Minimum size of a bin as the output.

Number of threads to use (0: use all cores).
Output only sequence labels as a list in a column without sequences.
Save cluster memberships as a matrix format
Generate [outFile].unbinned.fa file for unbinned contigs
No bin output. Usually combined with --saveCls to check only contig memberships
For exact reproducibility. (0: use random seed)
Debug output
Verbose output
