Summary: metrics for genome projects

About

Summary is a plugin for the genomer tool for genome finishing. This summary plugin provides metrics that useful are to understanding that state of your genome scaffold. Plugins are added to a genomer project by specifying them in the project Gemfile. Each summary function is documented with a manual page.

Usage

The following command will provide a list of all the gaps in your genome scaffold:

$ genomer summary gaps

Producing output similiar to as follows:

+----------+----------+----------+----------+--------------+
|                      Scaffold Gaps                       |
+----------+----------+----------+----------+--------------+
|  Number  |  Length  |  Start   |   End    |     Type     |

Other commands are available for showing contigs, sequences, and the complete scaffolded genome. These are listed in the manual page directory.

Installation

Add this line to your genomer projects's Gemfile:

gem 'genomer-plugin-summary'

And then execute in the project directory:

$ bundle

Run the help command and the summary plugin should be available:

$ genomer help
$ genomer man summary
