Additional Information
From the Maq website:
Follow these steps to run Maq. All you need is a reference sequence file in the FASTA format.
Prepare a reference sequence (ref.fasta), better a bacterial genome to make the test run faster.
Simulate diploid reference and read sequences, map reads, call variants and evaluate the results in one go:
maq.pl demo ref.fasta calib-30.dat
where calib-30.dat is contained in maq-data.
View the alignment:
cd maqdemo/easyrun; maqindex -i -c consensus.cns all.map; maqview -c consensus.cns all.map
Even for advanced maq users, running `maq.pl demo' is recommended. You may find something helpful.
