NAME

       svim - Structural variant caller for long sequencing reads

DESCRIPTION

       usage: svim [-h] [--version] {reads,alignment} ...

       SVIM  (pronounced  SWIM)  is  a structural variant caller for long reads.  It discriminates six different
       variant  classes:  deletions,  tandem  and  interspersed   duplications,   inversions,   insertions   and
       translocations. SVIM is unique in its capability of extracting both the genomic origin and destination of
       duplications.

       SVIM consists of four major steps: - COLLECT detects signatures for SVs in long read alignments - CLUSTER
       merges  signatures  that come from the same SV - COMBINE combines clusters from different genomic regions
       and classifies them into distinct SV types - GENOTYPE uses alignments spanning  SVs  to  determine  their
       genotype

       SVIM  can  process  two  types  of input. Firstly, it can detect SVs from raw reads by aligning them to a
       given reference genome first ("SVIM.py reads [options] working_dir reads genome").  Alternatively, it can
       detect SVs from existing reads alignments in SAM/BAM format  ("SVIM.py  alignment  [options]  working_dir
       bam_file").

   positional arguments:
       {reads,alignment}
              modes

       reads  Detect SVs from raw reads. Align reads to given reference genome first.

       alignment
              Detect SVs from an existing alignment

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --version, -v
              show program's version number and exit
