get.mimarkspackage

The get.mimarkspackage command creates a MIMarks package template for your samples for the environment you select. See Creating a new submission to see how to use make.sra in your workflow.

Default Options

You must provide a file, oligos or group file. mothur uses the file, oligos and group file to extract your sample names.

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(file=test.file)

or

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(oligos=GQY1XT001.oligos)

or

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(group=final.groups)

This command will create a template that looks like:

#This is a tab-delimited file. Additional Documentation can be found at `[`mimarks_data_packages`](/wiki/MIMarks_Data_Packages)`.
#Please fill all the required fields indicated with '*'
#Unknown or inapplicable fields can be assigned 'missing' value.
#You may add extra custom fields to this template. Make sure all the fields are separated by tabs.
#You may remove any fields not required (marked with '*'). Make sure all the fields are separated by tabs.
#You can edit this template using Microsoft Excel or any other editor. But while saving the file please make sure to save them as 'TAB-DELIMITED' TEXT FILE.

file

The file parameter is used to provide a file containing a list of individual fastq or sff files or paired fastq files with a group assignment. File lines can be 2 or 3 columns. The 2 column files are sff file then oligos or fastqfile then oligos. You may have multiple lines in the file. The 3 column files are for paired read libraries. The format is groupName, forwardFastqFile reverseFastqFile. This is the same file you will later use with the sra command. mothur will read the oligos files and extract the group names, or read the list of group names from the file.

Here’s an example of the 2 column form with sff files:

G3BMWHG01.sff   G3BMWHG01.oligos
GHL4YHV01.sff     GHL4YHV01.oligos
GHMDAJD01.sff    GHMDAJD01.oligos
GO5715J01.sff     GO5715J01.oligos
GQY1XT001.sff    GQY1XT001.oligos
GZGO5KL01.sff    GZGO5KL01.oligos

Here is an example of the 3 column form with fastq files:

oligos

The oligos parameter is used to provide mothur with your oligos file. Here’s a link to more information about mothur’s oligos_file.

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(oligos=GQY1XT001.oligos)

group

The group parameter is used to provide mothur with your group file. Here’s a link to more information about mothur’s group_file.

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(group=final.groups)

package

The package parameter is used to select the mimarks package you would like to use. The choices are: air, host_associated, human_associated, human_gut, human_oral, human_skin, human_vaginal, microbial, miscellaneous, plant_associated, sediment, soil, wastewater or water. Default=miscellaneous. Here is a link to more information on the various packages: mimarks_data_packages.

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(oligos=GQY1XT001.oligos, package=water)

requiredonly

The requiredonly parameter is used to indicate you only want the required mimarks fields printed. Default=F.

mothur > get.mimarkspackage(oligos=GQY1XT001.oligos, requiredonly=t)

Revisions

  • 1.34.0 First Introduced.
  • 1.38.1 Fixes group name issue with oligos file option so that it work with make.sra command.
