Japsa is a Java Package for Sequence Analysis. As the name implies, Japsa was written primarily in Java. It contains a large number of ready to run programs as well as a Java API. Please note that from our newest versions, it is required Java 8 to compile and run from the source code. Prebuilt releases would need JVM 1.8.0_144 or newer to run properly.
Quick installation guide:
git clone https://github.com/mdcao/japsa.git
cd japsa
make install \
[INSTALL_DIR=~/.usr/local \]
[MXMEM=7000m \]
[SERVER=true \]
[JLP=/usr/lib/jni]
Details of installation (including for Windows) and usage of Japsa can be found in its documentation hosted on ReadTheDocs
Alternatively, build with maven (experimental). First you need to manually install JAR files that are not available on Maven public repo to your local repo. This can be achieved using the install_mvn.sh script provided.
./install_mvn.sh
mvn clean package install
you might need to try packaging Japsa again if failed. A SNAPSHOT is then created and you can invoke tool, e.g. species typer, by
java -cp ./target/japsa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar japsa.tools.bio.np.RealtimeSpeciesTypingCmd --bam <bam> --index <index>
Convenient scripts (like install by make) would be added soon.
