SIMKA(1) User Commands SIMKA(1)

simka - comparative metagenomics method dedicated to NGS datasets

ERROR: Unknown parameter '-h' ERROR: Option '-in' is mandatory ERROR: Option '-out-tmp' is mandatory ERROR: Option '-in' is mandatory

[Simka options]

(1 arg) : input file of samples. One sample per line: id1: filename1...
(1 arg) : output directory for result files (distance matrices) [default './simka_results']
(1 arg) : output directory for temporary files
(0 arg) : keep temporary files
compute (and display) information before running Simka, such as the number of reads per dataset
(1 arg) : verbosity level [default '1']
(0 arg) : version
(0 arg) : help
[distance options]
(0 arg) : compute all simple distances (Chord, Hellinger...)
compute all complex distances (Jensen-Shannon...)
[kmer options]
(1 arg) : size of a kmer [default '21']
(1 arg) : min abundance a kmer need to be considered [default '2']
(1 arg) : max abundance a kmer can have to be considered [default '999999999']
minimal Shannon index a kmer should have to be kept. Float in [0,2] [default '0']
[read options]
(1 arg) : maximum number of reads per sample to process. Can be -1: use all reads. Can be 0: estimate it [default '-1']
(1 arg) : minimal size a read should have to be kept [default '0']
minimal Shannon index a read should have to be kept. Float in [0,2] [default '0']
[core options]
(1 arg) : number of cores [default '0']
max memory (MB) [default '5000']
(1 arg) : maximum number of simultaneous counting jobs (a higher value improve execution time but increase temporary disk usage) [default '']
(1 arg) : maximum number of simultaneous merging jobs (1 job = 1 core) [default '']
[cluster options]
(1 arg) : command to submit counting job [default '']
(1 arg) : command to submit merging job [default '']
filename to the couting job template [default '']
filename to the merging job template [default '']
