NAME

DistanceEst - Estimate distances between contigs using paired-end alignments.

SYNOPSIS

DistanceEst -k<kmer> -s<seed-length> -n<npairs> [OPTION]... HIST [PAIR]

DESCRIPTION

Estimate distances between contigs using paired-end alignments.
Arguments:

minimum distance between contigs [-(k-1)]
--maxd=N
maximum distance between contigs
--fr
force the orientation to forward-reverse
--rf
force the orientation to reverse-forward
-k, --kmer=N
set --mind to -(k-1) bp
-l, --min-align=N
the minimal alignment size [1]
-n, --npairs=NPAIRS
minimum number of pairs
-s, --seed-length=L
minimum length of the seed contigs
-q, --min-mapq=N
ignore alignments with mapping quality less than this threshold [10]
-o, --out=FILE
write result to FILE
--mle
use the MLE [default] (maximum likelihood estimator)
--median
use the difference of the population median and the sample median
--mean
use the difference of the population mean and the sample mean
--dist
output the graph in dist format [default]
--dot
output the graph in GraphViz format
--gv
output the graph in GraphViz format
--gfa
