The major subcommands of SGA are:

  • preprocess - Prepare a set of sequence reads for assembly
  • index - Build the FM index for a set of sequence reads
  • merge - Merge two indices together. This can be used to build a distributed indexing pipeline.
  • overlap - Find overlaps between reads to construct a string graph
  • fm-merge - Efficiently merge reads that can be unambiguously assembled
  • correct - Correct base calling errors in a set of reads
  • filter - Remove duplicate and low quality sequences
  • assemble - Construct contigs from a string graph

Detail usage information for each command is printed from the --help option. For example, this command will print the options for the index subprogram:

  sga index --help
