...::: CheckM v1.0.18 :::...
Lineage-specific marker set:
tree -> Place bins in the reference genome tree
tree_qa -> Assess phylogenetic markers found in each bin
lineage_set -> Infer lineage-specific marker sets for each bin
Taxonomic-specific marker set:
taxon_list -> List available taxonomic-specific marker sets
taxon_set -> Generate taxonomic-specific marker set
Apply marker set to genome bins:
analyze -> Identify marker genes in bins
qa -> Assess bins for contamination and completeness
Common workflows (combines above commands):
lineage_wf -> Runs tree, lineage_set, analyze, qa
taxonomy_wf -> Runs taxon_set, analyze, qa
Bin QA plots:
bin_qa_plot -> Bar plot of bin completeness, contamination, and strain heterogeneity
Reference distribution plots:
gc_plot -> Create GC histogram and delta-GC plot
coding_plot -> Create coding density (CD) histogram and delta-CD plot
tetra_plot -> Create tetranucleotide distance (TD) histogram and delta-TD plot
dist_plot -> Create image with GC, CD, and TD distribution plots together
General plots:
nx_plot -> Create Nx-plots
len_plot -> Cumulative sequence length plot
len_hist -> Sequence length histogram
marker_plot -> Plot position of marker genes on sequences
par_plot -> Parallel coordinate plot of GC and coverage
gc_bias_plot -> Plot bin coverage as a function of GC
Sequence subspace plots:
cov_pca -> PCA plot of coverage profiles
tetra_pca -> PCA plot of tetranucleotide signatures
Bin exploration and modification:
unique -> Ensure no sequences are assigned to multiple bins
merge -> Identify bins with complementary sets of marker genes
bin_compare -> Compare two sets of bins (e.g., from alternative binning methods)
bin_union -> [Experimental] Merge multiple binning efforts into a single bin set
modify -> [Experimental] Modify sequences in a bin
outliers -> [Experimental] Identify outlier in bins relative to reference distributions
Utility functions:
unbinned -> Identify unbinned sequences
coverage -> Calculate coverage of sequences
tetra -> Calculate tetranucleotide signature of sequences
profile -> Calculate percentage of reads mapped to each bin
join_tables -> Join tab-separated value tables containing bin information
ssu_finder -> Identify SSU (16S/18S) rRNAs in sequences
