fastqSample ~~~~~~ :: usage: fastqSample [opts] Input Specification -I NAME input name (prefix) of the reads -T T total number of mate pairs in the input (if not supplied, will be counted) -L L length of a single read (if not supplied, will be determined) -U reads are unmated, expected in *.u.fastq Output Specification -O NAME output name (prefix) of the reads (default is same as -I) -A automatically include coverage or number of reads in the output name -m L ignore reads shorter than L bases -max don't sample randomly, pick the longest reads Method 1: specify desired output coverage: -g G genome size -c C desired coverage in the output reads Method 2: specify desired number of output pairs -p N for mated reads, output 2N reads, or N pairs of reads for unmated reads, output N reads Method 3: specify a desired fraction of the input: -f F output F * T pairs of reads (T as above in -t option) 0.0 < F <= 1.0 Method 4: specify a desired total length -b B output reads/pairs until B bases is exceeded Samples reads from paired Illumina reads NAME.1.fastq and NAME.2.fastq and outputs: NAME.Cx.1.fastq and N.Cx.2.fastq (for coverage based sampling) NAME.n=N.1.fastq and N.n=N.2.fastq (for coverage based sampling) If -T is not supplied, the number of reads will be counted for you. ERROR: no name supplied with -I. ERROR: no method supplied with -c, -p, -f or -b
