Construct the IIT (interval index tree) needed from the GMAP suite of tools to run from a
genome file. IIT files are an oligomer index and what allow GMAP and GSNAP to
efficiently lookup interval information for fast genomic
mapping. Fast
and SNP-tolerant detection of complex variants and splicing in short
reads offers an depth explication of IIT files and their use in GMAP and GSNAP.
Arguments
d
genome name
D
destination directory for installation (defaults to gmapdb directory specified at configure time
k
k-mer value for genomic index (allowed: 12..15, default 14)
S
do not order chromosomes in numeric/alphabetic order, but use order in FASTA file(s)
g
files are gzipped, so need to gunzip each file first
