Table 1 Summary of commands available in latest development version of rKOMICS

From: rKOMICS: an R package for processing mitochondrial minicircle assemblies in population-scale genome projects

Command

Description

Preprocess

Filters a FASTA file based on minicircle sequence length (specified by a minimum and maximum numeric value) and circularization success (Boolean argument)

msc.length

Calculates and visualizes the length of minicircle sequences

read.uc

Reads and stores USEARCH cluster format (UC) files

msc.uc

Processes clustering results by estimating the number of MSCs and alignment insertions/deletions per minimum percent identity

msc.matrix

Stores clustering results in a matrix where MSCs (rows) are classified as present (1) or absent (0) in each sample (columns)

msc.heatmap

Creates a heatmap that summarizes the presence/absence of MSCs per sample and per group

msc.richness

Summarizes and visualizes the number of MSCs per sample

msc.similarity

Estimates the number and proportion of shared and unique MSCs between groups of samples

msc.subset

Extracts specific MSCs for a given group of samples

msc.pca

Principal Component Analysis to summarize MSC variation for all or a given set of samples

msc.seqs

Retrieves the DNA sequence of a MSC together with all its hit sequences

msc.quality

Checks the quality of the assembly

msc.depth

Calculates the read depth and copy number of the assembled minicircles
