crac -i <index\_file> -k <int> -r <reads\_file1> -o <output\_file> --nb-threads <int>
Manual
- -i is the name of the index previously built with the crac-index binary file. Note that crac-index construct the structure with its configuration so only the prefix must be specified (without extension) to consider the structure and the configuration files both in CRAC.
- -r [reads\_file2] is the source(s) of the FASTA or FASTQ file(s) containing the reads. Note that the number of files depends if single or paired-reads. The input file may also be compressed using gzip.
- -k is the length of the k-mer to be used to map the reads on the reference . Note that the condition (k < m) is necessary and reads (or both paired reads) are ignored if m < k. It must be chosen to ensure (as much as possible) that a k-mer has a very high probability to occur a single time on the genome.
- -o (or --sam ) is the output file in SAM format or print on STDOUT with “-o -“ argument. See the Documentation of SAM format in CRAC for more details.
- --nb-threads is the number of threads to run crac, computational time is almost divided by the number of threads.
