Name
makeFakeAssembly.pl - Wrapper script to make a dummy/fake assembly for a metagenome.
Synopsis
makeFakeAssembly.pl [options]
Options
--metagenome- (required) name of the metagenome to create fake assembly for. This metagenome must be present in the repository, and reads should already have been loaded.
Description
makeFakeAssembly.pl is a wrapper script that makes a fake assembly by creating a contig for each read in the metagenome sample. This is useful for samples where for some reason assembly is not required or preferred, e.g. highly complex sample where assembly is not useful. When you run this script, Smash will make it look as though it is a real assembly generated through doAssembly.pl, so you can proceed with loadAssembly.pl to load this assembly into the Smash database.
