.SH "NAME"
mash\-screen \- determine whether query sequences are within a larger pool of sequences
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBmash screen\fP [options] <queries>.msh <pool> [<pool>] ...
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Determine how well query sequences are contained within a pool of sequences.
The queries must be formatted as a single Mash sketch file (.msh), created
with the \f(CRmash sketch\fP command. The <pool> files can be contigs or reads, in
fasta or fastq, gzipped or not, and "\-" can be given for <pool> to read from
standard input. The <pool> sequences are assumed to be nucleotides, and will
be 6\-frame translated if the <queries> are amino acids. The output fields are
[identity, shared\-hashes, median\-multiplicity, p\-value, query\-ID, query\-comment],
where median\-multiplicity is computed for shared hashes, based on the number of
observations of those hashes within the pool.

.RS 4
Winner\-takes\-all strategy for identity estimates. After counting
hashes for each query, hashes that appear in multiple queries will
be removed from all except the one with the best identity (ties
broken by larger query), and other identities will be reduced. This
removes output redundancy, providing a rough compositional outline.

Minimum identity to report. Inclusive unless set to zero, in which
case only identities greater than zero (i.e. with at least one
shared hash) will be reported. Set to \-1 to output everything.
