 # Smudgeplot

-This is a merger of PloidyPlot from https://github.com/KamilSJaron/MERQURY.FK & Smudgeplot. 
-
-The big changes are
- + the search for the kmer pair will be within both canonical and non-canonical k-mer sets (Gene demonstrated it makes a difference)
- + the tool will be supporting FastK kmer counter only
- + the backend by Gene is paralelized and massively faster
- + the intermediate file will be a flat file with the 2d histogram with cov1, cov2, freq columns (as opposed to list of coverages of pairs cov1 cov2);
- + at least for now WE LOSE the ability to extract sequences of the kmers in the pair; this functionality will hopefully restore at some point together with functionality to assess the quality of assembly.
- + we added "run all" functionality for people that want "FastK database -> plot" type of solution.
- + completelly revamped plot showing how all individual kmer pairs insead of agregating them into squares
- + new smudge detection algorithm based on grid projection on the smudge plane (working, but under revisions at the moment)
- + R package smudgeplot was retired and is no longer used
-
-We keep the same pythonic interface, the interface of older smudgeplot and this version are very similar and largely compatible.
-
-Current state: RUNNING; beta-testing;

 ### Install the whole thing
  
-This version of smudgeplot operates on FastK k-mer databases. So, before installing smudgeplot, please install [FastK](https://github.com/thegenemyers/FASTK). The smudgeplot installation consist of one R package, and three executables. One of the three needs to be compiled - that is the C-backend to search for all the k-mer pairs.

-And that's it for now! I will be streamlining this over the next few days so hopefully it will all work with a single command;
+There is also a plotting module that requires the coverage and a list of smudges and their respective sizes listed in a tabular file. This plotting module does not inference and should be used only if you know the right answers already.
