What it does

Accepts a fasta file containing contigs, cuts them into non-overlapping or overlapping parts of equal length, and produces a fasta file containing the cut contigs. An optional output BED file can be produced, where the cut contigs are specified in terms of the original contigs. Using this file as input to a BED coverage tool (e.g., bedtools Compute both the length and depth of coverage) will produce a file that can be used as input to the CONCOCT Create coverage table tool.

The intended use of the CONCOCT tools is shown in the following image.
