.TH SGA-ALIGN "1" "September 2016" "sga-align 0.10.15" "User Commands" .SH NAME sga-aligm \- align reads to contigs .SH SYNOPSIS .B sga-align \fI[options]\fR \fI \fR .SH DESCRIPTION The major goal of SGA is to be very memory efficient, which is achieved by using a compressed representation of DNA sequence reads. .P SGA is a de novo assembler for DNA sequence reads. It is based on Gene Myers' string graph formulation of assembly and uses the FM-index/Burrows-Wheeler transform to efficiently find overlaps between sequence reads. .SH OPTIONS .TP --name=STR Use STR as the basename for the output files. .TP -t,--threads=N Use N threads when running bwa. .SH AUTHOR This manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution and can be used for any other usage of the program.
