Hidden index file

Open varamos opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, I got a hidden index file (RawGenomeCorrected_000.tombo.index), but I don't know how to interpret it. Could you give me a link to interpret this or explain the file? Some of the contents of the file are below.

(index) 012cfe0: 72e2 1d01 0086 72e3 1d01 0052 72e4 1d01 r.....r....Rr... 012cff0: 0058 2400 0000 3534 3235 6237 3162 2d30 .X$...5425b71b-0 012d000: 3465 382d 3434 3434 2d61 3431 612d 3536 4e8-4444-a41a-56 012d010: 3531 6163 6330 6335 3434 72e5 1d01 0074 51acc0c544r....t

Thank you so much for your consideration.

The Tombo index file is a pickled object containing high-level information about the mapped reads (mapping coordinates, source FAST5 filename, read id, etc). This information is best accessed by the Tombo API. The TomboReads object loads all of the information in this file when pointed to the associated directory. See more details here.
