# goby(1)

Sequencing data and results analysis tool

## NAME

goby - Sequencing data and results analysis tool

## SYNOPSIS

**goby \<mem\> \<mode\> \[*OPTIONS*\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Goby** provides facilities to manage sequencing data and ease the implementation of data analysis pipelines.

   **goby 100m \<mode\>**

  which returns a complete list of options for running the mode \<mode\> as well as a description of what this mode provides.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Displays usage help information

- **-H**, **--x-help**

  Displays help for dynamic options
