Covest estimates the coverage and genom size, just from k-mer abundance histogram computed from DNA sequences reads.
Project description
Tool that estimates coverage (and genome size) of dna sequence from reads.
Installation
pip install covest
For development:
pip install -e . from the project directory
Usage
type covest --help for the usage.
Other included tools
geset.py tool for estimation genome size from reads and known coverage
prepare_experient.py tool for experiment pipeline setup
experiment_table.py tool which collects data from experiment and create a nice table (html, tex, and csv formats are supported)
Read simulator:
generate_sequence.py random sequence generator
read_simulator.py tool for generating random reads form the sequence
