NAME

dipspades - diploid genome assembler

SYNOPSIS

dipspades [options] -o <output_dir>

DESCRIPTION

dipspades is the main executable for the dipSPAdes software, a genome assembler designed for diploid genomes with a high heterozygosity rate. It assembles genomic reads given to it and places the resulting assembly in <output_dir>.

OPTIONS

Basic options

-o <output_dir>
directory to store all the resulting files (required)
--iontorrent
this flag is required for IonTorrent data
--test
runs dipSPAdes on toy dataset
-h/--help
prints this usage message
