MatchSchemas - Tutorial

Objective

This tutorial will guide you through the process of using the MatchSchemas module to find matches between the loci in two schemas.

Prerequisites

Download the schema from chewBBACA’s tutorial.

Procedure

Open a terminal window.
Modify and run the following command to compare the loci in two schemas:

SR MatchSchemas -fs /path/to/tutorial_schema -ss /path/to/tutorial_schema -o path/to/output_folder -c 6 --nocleanup

Important

Replace path/to/files/ with the actual path to the files. This will run the tutorial schema against itself. The –nocleanup parameter will leave all the intermediary files in the output folder.

Check the outptut folder containing the list of loci in both schemas that are similar.

Example Output Structure

To see the expected output structure, refer to the “Outputs” section in the MatchSchemas documentation.

Conclusion

You have successfully matched two schemas using the MatchSchemas module.
