NAME¶

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

Users wishing to run a full assembly with ABySS are recommended to use abyss-pe as their entry point rather than the ABYSS program. abyss-pe is a Makefile that coordinates many of the ABySS tools (including ABYSS) in order to run the full ABySS assembly pipeline. abyss-pe is capable of doing many things that ABYSS is not, such as leveraging the distance information provided by paired end reads and mate pair reads.

--chastity

discard unchaste reads [default]

--no-chastity

do not discard unchaste reads

--trim-masked

trim masked bases from the ends of reads [default]

--no-trim-masked

do not trim masked bases from the ends of reads

-q, --trim-quality=THRESHOLD

trim bases from the ends of reads whose quality is less than the threshold

-Q, --mask-quality=THRESHOLD

mask all bases in reads whose quality is less than the threshold

--standard-quality

zero quality is `!' (33)

-e, --erode=COVERAGE
