FionaIllumina

Fiona is a tool for the correction of NGS read data sets. It uses a novel statistical approach for high quality and state-of-the art data structures for low resource consumptions and features a good parallelization.

You have to specify the approximate genome length of the donor in GENOME_LEN. The reads are read from the file IN.{fq,fa} and are written to OUT.fa.

Options

version-check
Turn this option off to disable version update notifications of the application.
verbose
Verbose output.
very-verbose
More verbose output.
correction-infos
Enable embedding of correction information in the output file.
global-corr-limit
Limit corrections globally and not per round.
no-final-trim-ns
Disable trimming of Ns at the end.
genome-length
Approximate length of the underlying genome.
error-rate
Approximate per-base error rate in the read set. A slight overestimation gives better results.
overlap-error-scale
The error-rate is multiplied by this scale to define the error rate cutoff in the pairwise read overlap.
from-level
Set the lower bound on the level for suffix tree DFS. Use 0 for both from-level and to-level to get automatic level detection.
to-level
Set the upper bound on the level for suffix tree DFS. Use 0 for both to-level and to-level to get automatic level detection.
depth-sample-rate
The depth sampling rate factor.
no-mask-repeats
Turn off automatic repeat masking.
kmer-repeat-ratio
The fraction of k-mers that are considered as repeats.
kmer-repeat-std-dev
Multiples of standard deviation (for k-mer repeat cut-off).
method
Selects the correction method to use.
iterations
Number of iterations. Use 0 for auto-detection.
expected
Use expected value correction with the given strictness cutoff for the expected method.
count
Use fixed count correction cutoff.
odds-ratio
Odds-ratio for the classifier method.
p-value
The p value for the expected mode. In sensitivity mode, this is the false discovery rate.
mismatches
The number of accepted mismatches per read.
overlap-sum
Filter on the number of overlapping bp needed to correct an erroneous bp. A smaller value leads to lower sensitivity, a higher value leads to higher sensitivity.
indel-length
Maximal indel length. Use 0 for correcting only substitutions and 1 for edit distance corrections on Illumina reads.
num-threads
Number of threads to use (default 1).
super-packages
Number of internal q-gram index creation runs.
packages-per-thread
Set the number of work packages per thread. More packages result lower memory consumption but possibly a longer running time.

Input Ports
