Documentation

Build Status

Random Operations on Sequences Suite - ROSS

Perform random operations on fastq files, using unix streaming.

Installation

ROSS.rs is programmed in the Rust programming language. More information about Rust, including installation and the executable cargo, can be found at rust-lang.org.

After downloading, use the Rust executable cargo like so:

cd ROSS.rs
cargo build --release

All executables will be in the directory ROSS.rs/target/release.

General usage

All scripts accept the parameters, read uncompressed fastq format from stdin, and print uncompressed fastq format to stdout. All paired end fastq files must be in interleaved format, and they are written in interleaved format, except when deshuffling with friends_joey.

  • --help
  • --numcpus Not all scripts will take advantage of numcpus.
  • --paired-end Input reads are interleaved paired end
  • --verbose Print more status messages
