Overview

The ngs index command produces a companion "index" file for a variety of bioinformatics formats. Index files are often necessary to provide faster querying within bioinformatics files.

The following bioinformatics formats are supported by this tool:

  • FASTA. Generates a .fai index file.
  • BAM. Generates a .bai index file.

Usage

You can call ngs index simply by specifying the location of the file you'd like to index.

ngs index <BAM/FASTA>
