The merge subcommand merges multiple split kmer files into a single file.
To add samples to an existing split kmer file, simply give the prefix of the file to merge into as the output file name.
SKA merge can also be used to extract samples from one or more merged split kmer files. To do this, simply provide a list of the samples to extract using the -s option with a sample file.
ska merge [options] <subject split kmer files>
Options:
-h Print this help.
-f <file> File of split kmer file names. These will be added to or
used as an alternative input to the list provided on the
command line.
-o <file> Output file prefix. [Default = merged]
-s <file> File of sample names to include in the merged file. Can
be used to extract samples from a merge
