Usage

Example

bamcalib \
  --bigwig IP_11.bigwig \
  --fasta genome.fasta \
  --bam IP_11.bam \
  --read_length 150

The bigwig2bam expect the following parameters:

• --bigwig <bigwig_file> bigwig file to convert
• --fasta <fasta_file> fasta genome from which to generate the read sequences
• --output-bam <bam_file> output bam file (sorted)

Optional Arguments

• -c, --cal-prefix <cal_prefix> calibration prefix added to the chromosome name of the calibration genome (default: calib_)
• --read_length <value> size of the reads to generate
• --avoid-empty-bam add +1 to the density to avoid empty bams
• -h, --help Print help information
• -V, --version Print version information
