Usage

The reference sequence(s) can be whole genomes with multiple chromosomes, the transcriptome or even the millions reads in the fasta format, separated by >. The reads can be in the fasta, fastq, csfasta + QUAL formats or fastq for SOLiD reads. PerM can output alignments in our mapping format or the SAM format and that output can be further processed by ComB, SAMtools, RseqFlow pipeline and the Galaxy. Check the manual for more detail.

Two binaries are available - PerM and PerM-OMP (OpenMP multi-threaded version).
