• Note: scBS-map includes 5 subcommands. You can directly run the scBS-map.pl command for the entire pipeline or select one of the following subcommonds according to your own needs.

• Subcommands:

  1. qcreads:

     • Description: Trim low quality sequences.

     • Usage: perl qcreads.pl [-f <.fastq>] [-l length] [-o output]

       -f FILE               File name for sequencing data, fastq format.
       -l INT                Length of removed bases from the 5' end of the read [default: 10].
       -o OUTFILE            Output file name, .fastq.gz format.

     • Example: perl qcreads.pl -f Sample.R1.fastq.gz -l 10 -o Sample.R1.trim.fastq.gz

  2. align-end2end:
