NAME
razers - Fast Read Mapping with Sensitivity Control
SYNOPSIS
razers [OPTIONS] <GENOME FILE> <READS FILE>
razers [OPTIONS] <GENOME FILE> <MP-READS FILE1> <MP-READS FILE2>
DESCRIPTION
RazerS is a versatile full-sensitive read mapper based on a k-mer counting filter. It supports single and
paired-end mapping, and optimally parametrizes the filter based on a user-defined minimal sensitivity.
See http://www.seqan.de/projects/razers for more information.
Input to RazerS is a reference genome file and either one file with single-end reads or two files
containing left or right mates of paired-end reads. Use - to read single-end reads from stdin.

.fna[.*], .ffn[.*], .fastq[.*], .fasta[.*], .faa[.*], .fa[.*], .embl[.*], and .bam, where * is any
of the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression.
READS List of INPUT_FILE's

FORMATS, NAMING, SORTING, AND COORDINATE SCHEMES
RazerS supports various output formats. The output format is detected automatically from the file name
suffix.
.razers
Razer format
.fa, .fasta
Enhanced Fasta format
.eland Eland format
.gff GFF format
By default, reads and contigs are referred by their Fasta ids given in the input files. With the
-gn and -rn options this behaviour can be changed:
0 Use Fasta id.
1 Enumerate beginning with 1.
2 Use the read sequence (only for short reads!).
The way matches are sorted in the output file can be changed with the -so option for the following
formats: razer, fasta, sam, and amos. Primary and secondary sort keys are:
0 1. read number, 2. genome position
1 1. genome position, 2. read number
The coordinate space used for begin and end positions can be changed with the -pf option for the
razer and fasta formats:
0 Gap space. Gaps between characters are counted from 0.
1 Position space. Characters are counted from 1.
EXAMPLES
razers example/genome.fa example/reads.fa -id -a -mN -v
Map single-end reads with 4% error rate, indels, and output the alignments. Ns are considered to
match everything.
razers example/genome.fa example/reads.fa example/reads2.fa -id -mN
Map paired-end reads with up to 4% errors, indels, and output concordantly mapped pairs within
default library size. Ns are considered to match everything.
