NAME

Assemblytics - detect and analyze structural variants from a genome assembly

SYNOPSIS

Assemblytics delta output_prefix unique_length_required min_size max_size

DESCRIPTION

Assemblytics incorporates a unique anchor filtering approach to increase robustness to repetitive elements, and identifies six classes of variants based on their distinct alignment signatures. Assemblytics can be applied both to comparing aberrant genomes, such as human cancers, to a reference, or to identify differences between related species.

EXAMPLES

Generate the delta file with nucmer(1):

nucmer -maxmatch -l 100 -c 500 REFERENCE.fa ASSEMBLY.fa -prefix OUT

Then run the program:

Assemblytics OUT.delta OUT 10000 50 10000
