NAME

       mason_genome - Random Genome Simulation

SYNOPSIS

       mason_genome [OPTIONS] [-l LEN]+ -o OUT.fa

DESCRIPTION

       Simulate  a random genome to the output file.  For each -l/--contig-length entry, a contig
       with the given length will be simulated.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display the help message.

       --version
              Display version information.

       -q, --quiet
              Set verbosity to a minimum.

       -v, --verbose
              Enable verbose output.

       -vv, --very-verbose
              Enable very verbose output.

   Simulation Configuration:
       -l, --contig-length List of INTEGER's
              Length of the contig to simulate. Give one -l value for each contig to simulate. In
              range [1..inf].

       -s, --seed INTEGER
              The seed to use for the random number generator. Default: 0.

   Output Options:
       -o, --out-file OUTPUT_FILE
              Output  file. Valid filetypes are: .sam[.*], .raw[.*], .frn[.*], .fq[.*], .fna[.*],
              .ffn[.*], .fastq[.*], .fasta[.*], .faa[.*], .fa[.*], and .bam, where *  is  any  of
              the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression.

EXAMPLES

       mason_genome -l 1000 -l 4000 -o genome.fa
              Simulate  a  genome  with  two  contigs  of  lengths  1000 and 4000 and write it to
              genome.fa.
