How to prepare your genome alignment for SafFire

To prepare PAF alignments for SafFire, you will need to install rustybam. Once installed you can use the following command to convert your PAF file into a format that SafFire can read:

rb trim-paf {input.paf} `#trims back alignments that align the same query sequence more than once` \
    | rb break-paf --max-size 5000 `#breaks the alignment into smaller pieces on indels of 5000 bases or more` \
    | rb orient `#orients each contig so that the majority of bases are forward aligned` \
    | rb filter --paired-len 100000 `#filters for query sequences that have at least 100,000 bases aligned to a target across all alignments.` \
    | rb stats --paf `#calculates statistics from the trimmed paf file` \
