Ultra-</span><span>long read lengths are possible (hundreds of kb) as you can choose your fragment length.&nbsp;</span>One of the technical advantages of ONT data is the read length, which offers great prospects for genome assembly. Generally, assemblers are based on several different types of algorithms, such as greedy, overlap-layout-consensus (OLC), de Bruijn graph (DBG), and string graph.</p><p><span>List of analysis tools developed for Oxford Nanopore data</span></p><p>BWA <br />Fast nanopore data tuned alignment tool <br />https://github.com/lh3/bwa</p><p>GraphMap<br />Mapper for long and error-prone reads<br />https://github.com/isovic/graphmap</p><p>LAST<br />Nanopore tuned alignment tool<br />http://last.cbrc.jp/</p><p>LINKS<br />Software tool for long read scaffolding <br />https://github.com/warrenlr/LINKS/</p><p>marginAlign<br />Tools to align nanopore reads to a reference<br />https://github.com/benedictpaten/marginAlign</p><p>minoTour<br />Real time analysis tools<br />http://minotour.nottingham.ac.uk/</p><p>nanoCORR<br />Error-correction tool for nanopore sequence data<br />https://github.com/jgurtowski/nanocorr</p><p>NanoOK<br />Software for nanopore data, quality and error profiles<br />https://documentation.tgac.ac.uk/display/NANOOK/NanoOK</p><p>Nanopolish<br />Nanopore analysis and genome assembly software<br />https://github.com/jts/nanopolish</p><p>nanopore<br />Variant-detection tool for nanopore sequence data<br />https://github.com/mitenjain/nanopore</p><p>Nanocorrect<br />Error-correction tool for nanopore sequence data<br />https://github.com/jts/nanocorrect/</p><p>npReader<br />Real-time conversion and analysis of nanopore reads<br />https://github.com/mdcao/npReader</p><p>poRe<br />Tool for analyzing and visualizing nanopore data<br />https://sourceforge.net/p/rpore/wiki/Home/</p><p>PoreSeq<br />Error-correction and variant-calling software<br />https://github.com/tszalay/poreseq</p><p>Poretools<br />Nanopore sequence analysis and visualization software <br />https://github.com/arq5x/poretools</p><p>SSPACE-LongRead<br />Genome scaffolding tool <br />http://www.baseclear.com/genomics/bioinformatics/basetools/SSPACE-longread</p><p>SMIS<br />Genome scaffolding tool <br />https://sourceforge.net/projects/phusion2/files/smis/</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>List of assemblers for Oxford Nanopore MinION long reads</p><p>LQS<br />DALIGNER, Celera OLC Nanocorrect, <br />Nanopolish corrector<br />https://github.com/jts/nanopolish</p><p>PBcR<br />HGAP or BLASR, Celera OLC <br />PBcR corrector<br />http://wgs-assembler.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/PBcR<br /> &ndash;<br />Canu<br />MHAP, Celera OLC <br />Canu corrector<br />https://github.com/marbl/canu</p><p>Falcon<br />String graph, Celera OLC <br />Falcon corrector<br />https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/falcon</p><p>Miniasm <br />OLC<br />https://github.com/lh3/miniasm</p><p>ra-integrate<br />OLC<br />https://github.com/mariokostelac/ra-integrate/</p><p>ALLPATHS-LG<br />de Bruijn graph <br />ALLPATHS-L corrector<br />https://www.broadinstitute.org/software/allpaths-lg/blog/?page_id=12</p><p>SPAdes <br />de Bruijn graph <br />SPAdes corrector<br />http://bioinf.spbau.ru/spades</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Installing Perl environment on Linux]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>By using&nbsp;<code>plenv</code>, you can easily install and switch among different version of Perl. This will be installed under your home directory in<code>~/.plenv</code>.</p><h4>Install latest Perl (with supporting multithreading) and CPANMinus.</h4><pre><code> $ cd
 $ git clone git://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv.git ~/.plenv
 $ git clone git://github.com/tokuhirom/Perl-Build.git ~/.plenv/plugins/perl-build/
 $ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.plenv/bin:$PATH"' &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
 $ echo 'eval "$(plenv init -)"' &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
 $ source ~/.bashrc
 $ plenv install 5.18.1 -Dusethreads
 $ plenv rehash
 $ plenv global 5.18.1
 $ plenv install-cpanm
</code></pre><ul>
<li><code>git</code>&nbsp;is a distributed revision control and source code management software which can help you to download files from GitHub server.</li>
<li><code>echo</code>&nbsp;means "print".</li>
<li><code>&gt;&gt;</code>&nbsp;means adding the output into the end of the file, while&nbsp;<code>&gt;</code>&nbsp;means adding the output by overwriting the whole file. Please use<code>&gt;</code>&nbsp;with additional cares.</li>
<li>In Linux system, there are two types of outputs when you execute a command. One is called standard output (or sometimes STDOUT for short), and the other is a standard error (STDERR).&nbsp;<code>1&gt;</code>&nbsp;is for STDOUT only,&nbsp;<code>2&gt;</code>&nbsp;is for STDERR only, and&nbsp;<code>&amp;&gt;</code>means for both. In default&nbsp;<code>&gt;</code>&nbsp;is the same to&nbsp;<code>1&gt;</code>.</li>
<li><code>exec</code>&nbsp;is execution.</li>
<li>Remember to install Perl in supporting multithreading (with option&nbsp;<code>-Dusethreads</code>), which is important for many NGS analysis packages (e.g. Trinity). In this setting, you can use multiple CPU for Perl software.</li>
<li>Install the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) manager software, CPANMinus, by&nbsp;<code>install-cpanm</code>.</li>
</ul><p>You can use&nbsp;<code>plenv global</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>plenv local</code>&nbsp;to change the different version of Perl to fulfil different needs of your Perl software.</p><p>For example, if the&nbsp;specific version of Perl is not compatible with your script, you can switch to the different version by:</p><pre><code> $ plenv local 
</code></pre><ul>
<li>It is similar to set the local version of your script language when you use&nbsp;<code>pyenv</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>rbenv</code>&nbsp;as the following.</li>
</ul><p>Put the following path into&nbsp;<code>~/.bashrc file</code>.</p><pre><code>export PERL5LIB="$HOME/.plenv/build/perl-5.18.1/lib"
</code></pre><h4>Install BioPerl and PerlIO::gzip</h4><p>CPANMinus is a very good Perl module manager, use&nbsp;<code>cpanm</code>&nbsp;to install BioPerl can save you a lot of time. Here are some useful modules:</p><pre><code>$ cpanm Bio::Perl
$ cpanm Bio::SearchIO
$ cpanm PerlIO::gzip<br /></code></pre><p><span>For more information, please visit:&nbsp;</span><a href="https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv">https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv</a></p><pre><code>&nbsp;</code></pre>]]></description>
