# fpa Filter Pairwise Alignment
[](https://travis-ci.org/natir/fpa)
Filter output of all-against-all read mapping, you filter or select:
- internal match
- containment
- dovetails
- self matcing
- read name match against regex
All this filter can be revert.
For internal match, containment, dovetails definition go read [algorithm 5 in minimap article](https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/32/14/2103/1742895/Minimap-and-miniasm-fast-mapping-and-de-novo)
## Usage
```
fpa <option> <output> <input>…
```
By default input and output are stdin and stdout so you can use like this:
```
minimap2 long_read.fasta long_read.fasta | fpa -s -m read_1 > no_self_match_no_read_1.paf
minimap2 long_read.fasta long_read.fasta | fpa -s -r rename.csv > no_self_match_renamed_read_1.paf
```
### Rename option
The renaming option replaces the name of the read with another one.
If the path passed in parameter exists, the file will be read as a two-column csv, the first column is the original name and the second corresponds to the new name:
```
original name1, new name1
original name2, new name2
```
If the name of the read does not exist in the file it will not be replaced.
If the path passed as parameter does not exist, the names will automatically be replaced by a number, a file like above example will be created.
## Rationale
Long Read mapping tools provides all match they found in read dataset, for many usage some of match aren't usfull, this programme provide some filter to remove it.
This soft can be replace by a simple awk, bash, python, ~perl~, {your favorite language}.
