Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install dextractor on Kali Linux.
What is dextractor
dextractor is:
Dextractor commands allow one to pull exactly and only the
information needed for assembly and reconstruction from the source HDF5
files produced by the PacBio RS II sequencer, or from the source BAM
files produced by the PacBio Sequel sequencer.
For each of the three extracted file types – fasta, quiva, and
arrow – the library contains commands to compress the given file
type, and to decompress it, which is a reversible process delivering
the original uncompressed file. The compressed .fasta files, with the
extension .dexta, consume 1/4 byte per base. The compressed .quiva
files, with the extension .dexqv, consume 1.5 bytes per base on
average, and the compressed .arrow files, with the extension .dexar,
consume 1/4 byte per base
