Shore convert

shore convert converts SHORE files into common file formats, and vice versa.

Available converters

• Alignment2ALN
• Alignment2BED
• Alignment2GFF
• Alignment2Maplist
• Alignment2SAM
• ColorFlat2Fastq
• Contig2AFG
• Eland2Maplist
• ExpandTabs
• FlatPair2Fastq
• Maplist2Eland
• Reads2Fasta
• Reads2Fastq
• Reads2Flat
• Reads2Qual
• Solid2Fastq
• Solid2Flat
• Variant2GFF
• Variant2VCF

Alignment2... converters can convert

• SHORE map.list files (default)
• SAM files (*.sam)
• BAM files (*.bam)

Reads2... converters can convert

• SHORE reads_0.fl files (default)
• FastQ files (*.fq, *.fastq)
• 454 Standard Flowgram Format SFF (*.sff)
• Illumina QSEQ files (*.qseq, *_qseq.txt)
• SHORE map.list files (*.list) (discards alignment information and only keeps the read information; input files must be sorted by read ID)

By default, the SHORE file formats (map.list and reads_0.fl, respectively) are expected as input.
All other file types must have the correct file extensions to be recognized (an additional .gz is allowed for compressed files).

Additionally, the special file names stdin and stdout may be used for reading from standard input and for writing to standard output, respectively.

For stdin, map.list format is expected for Alignment2... conversions and reads_0.fl format for Reads2... conversions. To convert different formats from standard input, use e.g. stdin.sam, stdin.fastq.gz, etc.

Command line options

Usage: shore convert [OPTIONS] CONVERTER CONVERTER_ARGS

Note that all options must be specified before the converter name, e.g:

$ shore convert -r hg19.fa Alignment2Maplist sample1.bam

Alignment conversion
-r, --refseq=STRING		Reference sequence
-n, --max-edit-distance=INT		Maximum allowed edit distance
-g, --max-gaps=INT		Maximum number of gap openings
-e, --max-gap-extension=INT		Maximum gap extension
-s, --discard-softclipped		Discard soft-clipped alignments
-l, --leftover-file=STRING		Leftover reads file (input or output)
-S, --sort		Sort map.list output by alignment coordinate
Fastq output
--illumina		Report quality strings with Illumina offset instead of sanger
--flowcell-name=STRING		If this is set, conversion of SHORE read IDs back into Illumina FastQ read IDs will be attempted
