        Installation
        ------------
        
        This package works fine on Linux and macOS, but has not yet been fully tested on Windows.
        
        Install via PyPI
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip3 install massgenotyping
        
        Install manually via Git
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            git clone git://github.com/kohyamat/massgenotyping.git
            cd massgenotyping
            python3 setup.py install
        
        Use :code:`--user` option if you want to install the package into the local directory (usually under :code:`~/.local`).
        This will install the excutable :code:`mgt` under :code:`~/.local/bin`, so add :code:`~/.local/bin` to :code:`$PATH` if necessary.
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt [-h] SUBCOMMAND [OPTIONS]
        
        **Subcommand list:**
        
        * :code:`demultiplex`: demultiplex raw amplicon sequences based on primer sequences
        
        * :code:`merge-pairs`: merge paired-end reads
        
        * :code:`denoise`: reduce any noise that may have been generated during sequencing and PCR
        
        * :code:`filter`: filtering for erroneous sequence variants and screening for putative alleles
        
        * :code:`allele-check`: check allele candidates and create an allele database
        
        * :code:`allele-call`: assign alleles to raw amplicon sequences
        
        * :code:`show-alignment`: show a sequence alingment
        
        The details of the options for each subcommand can be checked by :code:`mgt SUBCOMMAND -h`.
        
        
        Tutorials with example data
        ---------------------------
        
        **1. Demultiplex raw amplicon sequences based on primer sequences**
        
        As a first step, the sequence data is split based on the primer sequence. 
        The input can be one or two sequence files in the FASTQ format, or a directory containing multiple sequence files.
        Primer sequences can be read from CSV or FASTA files.
        Please check the example data for the format of the input data.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt demultiplex examples/sequence_data -g "*_R[12]_*" -m examples/marker_data.csv
        
        The result files are written in subdirectories within the output directory (:code:`./project` by default) for each marker.
        
        **2. Merge paired-end reads and trim primer sequecnes**
        
        For the paired-end sequencing data, the respective sequence pairs are merged using NGmerge program.
        The following command removes the the primer sequences after merging sequence pairs.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt merge-pairs ./project -m examples/marker_data.csv --trim-primer
        
        For single-end data, this step can be skipped. The removal of the primer sequence can also be performed in the step 1.
        
        **3. Reduce noise (optional but recommended)**
        
        This step corrects any noise (very low-frequency point mutations) that may have been generated during sequencing or PCR.
        This step is not necessarily required, but it will make the following step easier.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt denoise ./project/*/*_merged.fastq.gz
        
        **4. Filter out erroneous sequence variants**
        
        In this step, the sequence of putative alleles is extracted for each marker in each sample,
        while removing any erroneous sequence variants, such as 'stutter' sequences.
        After some rough filtering, an interactive plot allows you to choose which sequence variants to keep.
        You can skip this visual-checking procedure with the :code:`--force-no-visual-check` option.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt filter ./project -m examples/marker_data.csv
        
        **5. Check a multiple sequence alignment and make an allele database**
        
        The database is created after checking the alignment of the putative allele sequences.
        If necessary, you can further filter out the erroneous sequence variants.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt allele-check ./project
        
        
        **6. Assign alleles to raw amplicon sequences**
        
        Finally, the following command perform a BLASTn search against the database created for each marker and assign alleles to the raw sequence data.
        The genotype tables are created within the output directory.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mgt allele-call ./project -m examples/marker_data.csv
