MICRO_RAZERS(1)

NAME
micro_razers - Map small RNA reads possibly containing 3' adapter sequence

SYNOPSIS
micro_razers [OPTIONS] <GENOME FILE> <READS FILE>

DESCRIPTION
MicroRazerS uses a prefix-based mapping strategy to map small RNA reads possibly containing 3' adapter sequence.

Input to MicroRazerS is a reference genome file and a file with single-end reads. Use - to read the reads from stdin.

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

ARGUMENT 0 INPUT_FILE
    A reference genome file. Valid filetypes are: .sam[.*], .raw[.*], .gbk[.*], .frn[.*], .fq[.*], .fna[.*], .ffn[.*], .fastq[.*], .fasta[.*], .faa[.*], .fa[.*], .embl[.*], and .bam, where * is any of the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression.

READS List of INPUT_FILE's
    Either one (single-end) or two (paired-end) read files. Valid filetypes are: .sam[.*], .raw[.*], .gbk[.*], .frn[.*], .fq[.*], .fna[.*], .ffn[.*], .fastq[.*], .fasta[.*], .faa[.*], .fa[.*], .embl[.*], and .bam, where * is any of the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression.

OPTIONS

  Main Options::

-o, --output OUTPUT_FILE
    Change output filename. (use - to dump to stdout in razers format) Default: <READS FILE>.razers. Valid filetypes are: .sam and .razers.

-rr, --recognition-rate DOUBLE
    set the percent recognition rate In range [80..100]. Default: 100.

    map reads only to reverse strands.

-mN, --match-N
    'N' matches with all other characters

-m, --max-hits INTEGER
    output only NUM of the best hits In range [1..inf]. Default: 100.

-pa, --purge-ambiguous
    purge reads with more than max-hits best matches
