epic-count

epic-count creates a simple matrix of counts from the .bed/.bedpe files it is given. These matrixes do not contain information about enrichment.

• -i, –infiles

  One or more bed/bedpe files to count reads in.

• -o, –outfile

  File to write results to. By default sent to stdout.

• -cpu, –number-cores

  The number of cores epic should use. Can at most take advantage of 1 core per strand per chromosome (i.e. 46 for humans). Default: 1

• -gn, –genome

  Which genome to analyze. By default hg19.

• -k, –keep-duplicates

  Keep reads mapping to the same position on the same strand within a library. The default is to remove all but the first duplicate (this is done once per file, not for all files collectively.)

• -fs, –fragment-size

  (Only used for single-end files) Size of the sequenced fragment. The center of the fragment will be used to calculate which window a read ended up in. So reads are shifted by fragment-size/2. Default 150.

• -cs, –chromsizes

  Set the chromosome lengths yourself in a file with two columns: chromosome names and sizes. Useful to analyze custom genomes, assemblies or simulated data. Only chromosomes included in the file will be analyzed.
