Create and write PacBio reads to FASTQ file(s).

From either a reference genome or set of haploid variants, create PacBio reads and write them to FASTQ output file(s). I encourage you to cite the reference below in addition to jackalope if you use this function.

Arguments

seq_object	Sequencing object of class `ref_genome` or `variants`.
out_prefix	Prefix for the output file(s), including entire path except for the file extension.
n_reads	Number of reads you want to create.
chi2_params_s	Vector containing the 5 parameters for the curve determining the scale parameter for the chi^2 distribution. Defaults to `c(0.01214, -5.12, 675, 48303.0732881, 1.4691051212330266)`.
chi2_params_n	Vector containing the 3 parameters for the function determining the n parameter for the chi^2 distribution. Defaults to `c(0.00189237136, 2.53944970, 5500)`.
max_passes	Maximal number of passes for one molecule. Defaults to `40`.
sqrt_params	Vector containing the 2 parameters for the square root function for the quality increase. Defaults to `c(0.5, 0.2247)`.
norm_params	Vector containing the 2 parameters for normal distributed noise added to quality increase square root function Defaults to `c(0, 0.2)`.
prob_thresh	Upper bound for the modified total error probability. Defaults to `0.2`.
ins_prob	Probability for insertions for reads with one pass. Defaults to `0.11`.
del_prob	Probability for deletions for reads with one pass. Defaults to `0.04`.
sub_prob	Probability for substitutions for reads with one pass. Defaults to `0.01`.
min_read_length	Minium read length for lognormal distribution. Defaults to `50`.
lognorm_read_length	Vector containing the 3 parameters for lognormal read length distribution. Defaults to `c(0.200110276521, -10075.4363813, 17922.611306)`.
custom_read_lengths	Sample read lengths from a vector or column in a matrix; if a matrix, the second column specifies the sampling weights. If `NULL`, it samples read lengths from the lognormal distribution using parameters in `lognorm_read_length`. Defaults to `NULL`.
prob_dup	A single number indicating the probability of duplicates. Defaults to `0.0`.
variant_probs	Relative probability of sampling each variant. This is ignored if sequencing a reference genome. `NULL` results in all having the same probability. Defaults to `NULL`.
sep_files	Logical indicating whether to make separate files for each variant. This argument is coerced to `FALSE` if the `seq_object` argument is not a `variants` object. Defaults to `FALSE`.
compress	Logical specifying whether or not to compress output file, or an integer specifying the level of compression, from 1 to 9. If `TRUE`, a compression level of `6` is used. Defaults to `FALSE`.
comp_method	Character specifying which type of compression to use if any is desired. Options include `"gzip"` and `"bgzip"`. This is ignored if `compress` is `FALSE`, and it throws an error if it's set to `"gzip"` when `n_threads > 1` (since I don't have a method to do gzip compression in parallel). Defaults to `"bgzip"`.
n_threads	The number of threads to use in processing. If `compress` is `TRUE` or `> 0` (indicating compressed output), setting `n_threads` to `2` or more makes this function first create an uncompressed file/files using `n_threads` threads, then compress that/those file/files also using `n_threads` threads. There is no speed increase if you try to use multiple threads to create compressed output on the fly, so that option is not included. If you want to be conservative with disk space (by not having an uncompressed file present even temporarily), set `n_threads` to `1`. This argument is ignored if the package was not compiled with OpenMP. Defaults to `1`.
read_pool_size	The number of reads to store before writing to disk. Increasing this number should improve speed but take up more memory. Defaults to `100`.
show_progress	Logical for whether to show a progress bar. Defaults to `FALSE`.
overwrite	Logical for whether to overwrite existing FASTQ file(s) of the same name, if they exist.

Value

Nothing is returned.

ID lines

The ID lines for FASTQ files are formatted as such:

@<genome name>-<sequence name>-<starting position>-<strand>

where genome name is always REF for reference genomes (as opposed to variants).
