Saving

Map state is automatically saved ($XDG_CONFIG_DIR or ~/.config on Unix, and the %APPDATA% folder on Windows) while the app runs, and is loaded on map load.<br/> You can also manually save/load state via the UI.

AGP Output

Map state can be output in AGP format via the UI. Objects are first created according to the scaffolds defined in scaffolding mode, with remaining sequences output as singletons.<br/>

AGP Correction

Note that object/part sizes will only be accurate up to the size of an individual map texel, and that any input sequences smaller than an individual texel will not be output.<br/> AGP files can be corrected by the included python script AGPCorrect, which requires access to the input sequences in (gzipped) FASTA format.

The script requires

• Python >= 3.8
• Biopython
