Fairy coverage (version 0.5.8+galaxy0)
Input the RAW FASTA contig file. It can be gzip!
This file will be generated with the fairy sketch tool.
Set the minimum adjusted ANI for the coverage calculation
Filter out genomes with less then x k-mer sampled.
This value does not interact with the .bcsp file which was used as input.
This value does not interact with the .bcsp file which was used as input.
Minimum spacing between selected k-mers on the contigs.
When a contig has a space in there name this option allows to use the full name instead only the name till the first space

Fairy computes multi-sample contig coverage for metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) binning.

Fairy is used after metagenomic assembly and before binning. It can

  • Calculate coverage 100x-1000x faster than read alignment (e.g. BWA)
  • Give comparable bins for multi-sample binning (short read or nanopore reads)
  • Output formats that are compatible with MetaBAT2, MaxBin2, SemiBin2, and more

Caveats:

  • Don't use fairy for single-sample binning
  • Don't use fairy for PacBio HiFi

For more information visit the wiki site on GitHub.,

Fairy usage for SemiBin2 is different than other tools: SemiBin2 requires separate coverage files for each read sample -- other tools require a single coverage matrix.

The default output format from Fairy is the MetaBAT2 format. Any tool using this or the format from the other 2 binners work also with Fairys coverage files!
