This page describes the usage of a script to find the off-target regions associated with a motif. The script and helpers are available in GangSTR/scripts/extract_offtarget. The extracted off-target regions will be printed in stdout.

Usage

cd GangSTR/scripts/extract_offtarget
python run.py <motif> <ref_genome.fa> <temp_dir/> <num_reads>

Method Dependencies

This script uses bwa-mem and wgsim

Arguments

  • motif: The TR repeating element, (i.e., CAG)
  • ref_genome.fa: Path to reference genome fasta
  • temp_dir/: Path to a directory to store temporary files
  • num_reads: Number of simulated reads
