extract-reads: Extract reads from reference sequences.¶

Docstring:

Usage: qiime feature-classifier extract-reads [OPTIONS]

  Extract simulated amplicon reads from a reference database. Performs in-
  silico PCR to extract simulated amplicons from reference sequences that
  match the input primer sequences (within the mismatch threshold specified by
  `identity`). Both primer sequences must be in the 5' -> 3' orientation.
  Sequences that fail to match both primers will be excluded. Reads are
  extracted, trimmed, and filtered in the following order: 1. reads are
  extracted in specified orientation; 2. primers are removed; 3. reads longer
  than `max_length` are removed; 4. reads are trimmed with `trim_right`; 5.
  reads are truncated to `trunc_len`; 6. reads are trimmed with `trim_left`;
  7. reads shorter than `min_length` are removed.

Inputs:
  --i-sequences ARTIFACT FeatureData[Sequence]
                                                                    [required]
Parameters:
  --p-f-primer TEXT       forward primer sequence (5' -> 3').       [required]
  --p-r-primer TEXT       reverse primer sequence (5' -> 3'). Do not use
                          reverse-complemented primer sequence.     [required]
  --p-trim-right INTEGER  trim-right nucleotides are removed from the 3' end
                          if trim-right is positive. Applied before trunc-len
                          and trim-left.                          [default: 0]
  --p-trunc-len INTEGER   read is cut to trunc-len if trunc-len is positive.
                          Applied after trim-right but before trim-left.
                                                                  [default: 0]
  --p-trim-left INTEGER   trim-left nucleotides are removed from the 5' end
                          if trim-left is positive. Applied after trim-right
                          and trunc-len.                          [default: 0]
  --p-identity NUMBER     minimum combined primer match identity threshold.
                                                                [default: 0.8]
  --p-min-length INTEGER  Minimum amplicon length. Shorter amplicons are
    Range(0, None)        discarded. Applied after trimming and truncation, so
                          be aware that trimming may impact sequence
                          retention. Set to zero to disable min length
                          filtering.                             [default: 50]
  --p-max-length INTEGER  Maximum amplicon length. Longer amplicons are
    Range(0, None)        discarded. Applied before trimming and truncation,
                          so plan accordingly. Set to zero (default) to
                          disable max length filtering.           [default: 0]
  --p-n-jobs INTEGER      Number of seperate processes to run.
    Range(1, None)                                                [default: 1]
  --p-batch-size VALUE Int % Range(1, None) | Str % Choices('auto')
                          Number of sequences to process in a batch. The
                          `auto` option is calculated from the number of
                          sequences and number of jobs specified.
                                                             [default: 'auto']
  --p-read-orientation TEXT Choices('both', 'forward', 'reverse')
                          Orientation of primers relative to the sequences:
                          "forward" searches for primer hits in the forward
                          direction, "reverse" searches reverse-complement,
                          and "both" searches both directions.
                                                             [default: 'both']
Outputs:

                                                                    [required]
Miscellaneous:
  --output-dir PATH       Output unspecified results to a directory
  --verbose / --quiet     Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr
                          during execution of this action. Or silence output
                          if execution is successful (silence is golden).
  --example-data PATH     Write example data and exit.
  --citations             Show citations and exit.
  --help                  Show this message and exit.
