xMAN commandline

Here is the xMAN how to from Tao Liu


Text formatted bpmap may not be processed by MAT directly. You need to convert your text bpmap to a so-called 'plainseq' format. Please type 'xMAN' without any argument to see the usage for detail.

And here is the commandline used to generate bpmap for fruitfly:

xMAN -f bpmap -i Dm_tiling2_MR_v01.bpmap -s Dm_tiling2_MR_v01.stderr -o Dm_tiling2_MR_v01_dm3 --nro=Dm_tiling2_MR_v01_dm3_all.NR --maxSeqCopy=10 --ProbeResolution=35 dm3/all/*.fa

The input file is a binary bpmap downloaded from affy website. And I put all the genome sequence files in dm3/all/ directory. Please remember to add '-nro' argument. After the run, the file 'Dm_tiling2_MR_v01_dm3_all.NR.bpmap' can be used by MAT.
