NAME

       samtools-dict - create a sequence dictionary file from a fasta file

SYNOPSIS

       samtools dict ref.fasta|ref.fasta.gz

DESCRIPTION

       Create a sequence dictionary file from a fasta file.

OPTIONS

       -a, --assembly STR
                  Specify the assembly for the AS tag.

       -A, --alias, --alternative-name
                  Add  an AN tag with the same value as the SN tag, except that a “chr” prefix is
                  removed if SN has one or added if it does not.  For mitochondria (i.e., when SN
                  is  “M”  or  “MT”,  with  or  without  a “chr” prefix), also adds the remaining
                  combinations of “chr/M/MT” to the AN tag.

       -H, --no-header
                  Do not print the @HD header line.

       -l, --alt FILE
                  Add an AH tag to each sequence listed in the specified bwa(1)-style .alt  file.
                  These files use SAM records to represent alternate locus sequences (as named in
                  the QNAME field) and their mappings to the primary assembly.

       -o, --output FILE
                  Output to FILE [stdout].

       -s, --species STR
                  Specify the species for the SP tag.

       -u, --uri STR
                  Specify the URI for the UR tag. Defaults to  the  absolute  path  of  ref.fasta
                  unless reading from stdin.
