merge

Merge multiple built indexes into a single index.

obikmer merge -o OUTPUT SOURCE... [OPTIONS]

Arguments

Argument Description
SOURCE... Index directories to merge (at least one required)

Options

Option Default Description
-o, --output — (required) Output index directory
--force off Overwrite an existing output directory
--force-presence off Store the merged index as presence/absence even if all sources have counts
--rename-duplicates off Disambiguate duplicate genome labels (.1, .2, …) instead of failing
--budget-fraction 0.5 Fraction of available RAM reserved as the memory budget for parallel partition merging

Behaviour

The output mode is chosen automatically: if every source index stores counts, the merged index stores counts too; otherwise it is presence/absence. --force-presence forces presence/absence regardless of the sources.

By default, merging two indexes that share a genome label fails with an error; --rename-duplicates instead appends a numeric suffix to keep both copies.
