# Assemblytics(1)

detect and analyze structural variants from a genome assembly

## NAME

Assemblytics - detect and analyze structural variants from a genome assembly

## SYNOPSIS

**Assemblytics** *delta output\_prefix unique\_length\_required min\_size max\_size*

## DESCRIPTION

**Assemblytics** incorporates a unique anchor filtering approach to increase robustness to repetitive elements, and identifies six classes of variants based on their distinct alignment signatures. **Assemblytics** can be applied both to comparing aberrant genomes, such as human cancers, to a reference, or to identify differences between related species.

## EXAMPLES

Generate the delta file with [**nucmer**(1)](/nucmer/1.md):

nucmer -maxmatch -l 100 -c 500 REFERENCE.fa ASSEMBLY.fa -prefix OUT

Then run the program:

Assemblytics OUT.delta OUT 10000 50 10000
