NAME
razers3 - Faster, fully sensitive read mapping
SYNOPSIS
razers3 [OPTIONS] <GENOME FILE> <READS FILE>
razers3 [OPTIONS] <GENOME FILE> <PE-READS FILE1> <PE-READS FILE2>
DESCRIPTION
RazerS 3 is a versatile full-sensitive read mapper based on k-mer counting and seeding
filters. It supports single and paired-end mapping, shared-memory parallelism, 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 3 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.

FORMATS, NAMING, SORTING, AND COORDINATE SCHEMES
RazerS 3 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
.sam SAM format
.bam BAM format
.afg Amos AFG 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!).
3 Use the Fasta id, do NOT append /L or /R for mate pairs.
The way matches are sorted in the output file can be changed with the -so option
for the following formats: razers, fasta, sam, and afg. 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.

razers3 -i 94 -rr 95 -tc 12 -ll 280 --le 80 -o mapped.razers hg18.fa reads_1.fq reads_2.fq
Map paired-end reads with up to 6% errors, 95% sensitivity, 12 threads, and only
output aligned pairs with an outer distance of 200-360bp.
