Various helpful utilities will be added to epic. Currently it includes:
A perennial question on bioinformatics sites is how to compute the effective
genome size for a genome. epic includes a script called epic-effective
to do
just this. It can use multiple cores. Please share your results on the issue
tracker.
And the script to compute the effective genome size has the following CLI:
epic-effective
Compute the effective genome size from a fasta file.
(Visit github.com/endrebak/epic for examples and help.)
Usage:
epic-effective --read-length=LEN [--nb-cpu=CPU] FILE
epic-effective --help
Arguments:
FILE Fasta genome
-r LEN --read-length LEN length of reads
Options:
-h --help show this help message
-n CPU --nb-cpu CPU number of cores to use [default: 1]
