# excord

excord extracts split and paired-end reads that are possible
indicators of structural variation. It also outputs reference
depth.

The output of excord is used as input to [stix SV index](https://github.com/ryanlayer/stix)

## usage

By default excord expects stuff from a single chromosome:
```
excord --fasta $fasta --prefix some/cool/project $bam $chrom | bgzip -c > $out
```
This will write some/cool/project.rp.bin with reference and pair coverage interleaved.

It's possible to read a bam from stdin and write only the discorants and splitters:
```
| excord --discordantdistance 500 --fasta $fasta /dev/stdin | bgzip -c > $out
```
It's not possible to write reference coverage with this mode.

## Ack

excord is developed as part of the company base2 genomics.
