# mapMers-depth(1)

report information about mapping kmers to sequences

## NAME

mapMers-depth - report information about mapping kmers to sequences

## SYNOPSIS

**mapMers-depth** {**-count**\|**-depth**\|**-stats**} **-mers** *MERYL* **-m** *MERSIZE* **-seq** *IN.FASTA*

## OPTIONS

### Modes of operation

For sequence ordinal 's' and position in that sequence 'p':

- **-count**

  reports the count (c) of the single kmer that starts at position (p).

-

  Format: 's p c'

- **-depth**

  reports the number (n) of kmers that span position (p).

-

  Format: 's p n'

- **-stats**

  reports the minimum (m), maximum (M), and average (a) count of all mers that span position (p). also reports total count (t) and number of kmers (n)

-

  Format: 's p m M a t n'

### General

- **-m** *MERSIZE*

  - **-mers** *MERYL*
