reference assembly in FASTA format
-1[file], --illumina_1 [file]
reference Illumina reads in FASTQ format
-2[file], --illumina_2 [file]
reference Illumina reads in FASTQ format
score weights (control the relative contribution of each score to the final read score):
weight given to the length score (default: 1)
weight given to the mean quality score (default: 1)
weight given to the window quality score (default: 1)
read manipulation:
trim non-k-mer-matching bases from start/end of reads
split reads at this many (or more) consecutive non-k-mer-matching bases
other:
