NAME

       sga-astat  -  Compute Myers' a-statistic for a set of contigs using the read alignments in
       in.bam

SYNOPSIS

       sga-astat [options] <in.bam>

DESCRIPTION

       The major goal of SGA is to be very  memory  efficient,  which  is  achieved  by  using  a
       compressed representation of DNA sequence reads.

       SGA is a de novo assembler for DNA sequence reads. It is based on Gene Myers' string graph
       formulation of assembly and uses the  FM-index/Burrows-Wheeler  transform  to  efficiently
       find overlaps between sequence reads.

OPTIONS

       -m=INT only compute a-stat for contigs at least INT bases in length

       -b=INT use  the  longest  INT  contigs to perform the initial estimate of the arrival rate
              (default: 20)

       -n=INT perform INT bootstrap iterations of the estimate

       -g=INT use INT as the genome size instead of estimating it

       --no-duplicates
              do not use duplicate reads to calculate statistics
