[--cutoff-analysis-max CUTOFF_ANALYSIS_MAX] [--cutoff-analysis-steps CUTOFF_ANALYSIS_STEPS]
[--no-trackline] [--verbose VERBOSE] [--outdir OUTDIR] (-o OFILE | --o-prefix OPREFIX)
options:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-i, --ifile IFILE
MACS score in bedGraph. REQUIRED
-c, --cutoff CUTOFF
Cutoff depends on which method you used for score track. If the file contains pvalue scores from
MACS3, score 5 means pvalue 1e-5. Regions with signals lower than cutoff will not be considerred
as enriched regions. DEFAULT: 5
-l, --min-length MINLEN
minimum length of peak, better to set it as d value. DEFAULT: 200
-g, --max-gap MAXGAP
maximum gap between significant points in a peak, better to set it as tag size. DEFAULT: 30
--cutoff-analysis
While set, bdgpeakcall will analyze number or total length of peaks that can be called by
different cutoff then output a summary table to help user decide a better cutoff. Note, minlen and
maxgap may affect the results. DEFAULT: False
--cutoff-analysis-max CUTOFF_ANALYSIS_MAX
The maximum cutoff score for performing cutoff analysis. Together with --cutoff-analysis-steps,
the resolution in the final report can be controlled. Please check the description in
--cutoff-analysissteps for detail. DEFAULT: 100
--cutoff-analysis-steps CUTOFF_ANALYSIS_STEPS
Steps for performing cutoff analysis. It will be used to decide which cutoff value should be
included in the final report. Larger the value, higher resolution the cutoff analysis can be. The
cutoff analysis function will first find the smallest (at least 0) and the largest (controlled by
--cutoff-analysis-max) score in the data, then break the range of score into
`CUTOFF_ANALYSIS_STEPS` intervals. It will then use each score as cutoff to call peaks and
calculate the total number of candidate peaks, the total basepairs of peaks, and the average
length of peak in basepair. Please note that the final report ideally should include
`CUTOFF_ANALYSIS_STEPS` rows, but in practice, if the cutoff yield zero peak, the row for that
value won't be included. DEFAULT: 100
--no-trackline
Tells MACS not to include trackline with bedGraph files. The trackline is used by UCSC for the
options for display.
--verbose VERBOSE
Set verbose level of runtime message. 0: only show critical message, 1: show additional warning
message, 2: show process information, 3: show debug messages. DEFAULT:2
--outdir OUTDIR
If specified all output files will be written to that directory. Default: the current working
directory
-o, --ofile OFILE
Output file name. Mutually exclusive with --o-prefix.
--o-prefix OPREFIX
Output file prefix. Mutually exclusive with -o/--ofile.
