Attribute Files¶

Attribute files are just a simple tab-separated values (TSV) file that contains attributes for each atrributes (eg: observed k-mer, variations, score, etc). Each line corresponds to a window, and each columns corresponds to a sample. The first column is the window ID, and the subsequent columns are sample-specific attributes.

Field	Description
window_id	Unique identifier for the window
SAM001	Sample-specific attribute value (e.g., observed k-mers, variations, etc.)
SAM002	Sample-specific attribute value (e.g., observed k-mers, variations, etc.)
SAM003	Sample-specific attribute value (e.g., observed k-mers, variations, etc.)

There are numerous attribute files that will be generated by the getAttributes command, each corresponding to a specific attribute. The attributes are defined in the KCF file format and can include:

Attribute File Exetension	Description
.obs.tsv	Observed k-mers for each sample in each window
.var.tsv	Variations detected in each window for each sample
.score.tsv	Score for each sample in each window
.inDist.tsv	Inner distance for each sample in each window
.tailDist.tsv	Tail distance for each sample in each window
.totalkmers.tsv	Total k-mers in each window
