	<title><![CDATA[16sRNA Database Download]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Downloading 16S rRNA databases can be crucial for various bioinformatics analyses, especially in microbiome research. However, it's important to note that databases can vary based on your specific needs, such as the taxonomic coverage you require or the type of analysis you're performing. Here's a general guideline on how you can obtain 16S rRNA databases:</p><ol>
<li>
<p><span>NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information)</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>NCBI provides various databases related to genetic information, including 16S rRNA sequences.</li>
<li>You can access the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences from NCBI's Nucleotide database (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/" target="_new">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/</a>).</li>
<li>Perform a search using keywords like "16S rRNA" or specific bacterial names to find relevant sequences.</li>
<li>You can download sequences individually or in batches using the provided tools.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>GreenGenes</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>GreenGenes is a widely used 16S rRNA gene sequence database.</li>
<li>You can access it at <a target="_new">http://greengenes.secondgenome.com/</a>.</li>
<li>GreenGenes provides precompiled databases for various purposes, including classification, alignment, and phylogenetic analysis.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>SILVA</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>SILVA (<a href="https://www.arb-silva.de/" target="_new">https://www.arb-silva.de/</a>) is another comprehensive database for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences.</li>
<li>It covers not only 16S rRNA but also other ribosomal RNA sequences.</li>
<li>SILVA provides precompiled databases for various purposes, including taxonomic classification and alignment.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Ribosomal Database Project (RDP)</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>RDP (<a target="_new">http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/</a>) is a curated database that offers 16S rRNA sequences.</li>
<li>It provides tools for sequence analysis and classification.</li>
<li>You can download sequences and taxonomy information from their website.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>QIIME (Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology)</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>QIIME (<a href="https://qiime2.org/" target="_new">https://qiime2.org/</a>) is a widely used bioinformatics platform for microbiome analysis.</li>
<li>It provides tools for analyzing microbial communities, including processing 16S rRNA sequences.</li>
<li>QIIME often includes its own preprocessed 16S rRNA databases that can be used for analysis within the platform.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol><p>Before downloading any database, make sure to read the terms of use and citation requirements, as some databases may have specific usage policies. Additionally, consider the compatibility of the database with your analysis pipeline and software tools.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NCBI 16s RNA database location&nbsp;ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/16SMicrobial.tar.gz</p>]]></description>

Pipeline options:
--only-error-correction runs only read error correction (without assembling)
--only-assembler        runs only assembling (without read error correction)
--careful               tries to reduce number of mismatches and short indels
--continue              continue run from the last available check-point
--restart-from  &lt;cp&gt;    restart run with updated options and from the specified check-point ('ec', 'as', 'k&lt;int&gt;', 'mc')
--disable-gzip-output   forces error correction not to compress the corrected reads
--disable-rr            disables repeat resolution stage of assembling

Advanced options:
--dataset       &lt;filename&gt;      file with dataset description in YAML format
-t/--threads    &lt;int&gt;           number of threads
                                [default: 16]
-m/--memory     &lt;int&gt;           RAM limit for SPAdes in Gb (terminates if exceeded)
                                [default: 250]
--tmp-dir       &lt;dirname&gt;       directory for temporary files
                                [default: &lt;output_dir&gt;/tmp]
-k              &lt;int,int,...&gt;   comma-separated list of k-mer sizes (must be odd and
                                less than 128) [default: 'auto']
--cov-cutoff    &lt;float&gt;         coverage cutoff value (a positive float number, or 'auto', or 'off') [default: 'off']
--phred-offset  &lt;33 or 64&gt;      PHRED quality offset in the input reads (33 or 64)
                                [default: auto-detect]
</code></pre></div><p>As you can see this is also a &ldquo;pipeline&rdquo; of tools that can be switched on or off. SPAdes takes quite a long time, so for the purposes of this practical, something like this may suffice:</p><div><pre><code>spades.py -t 4 <span>\</span>
          -m 32 <span>\</span>
          -k 31,51,71 <span>\</span>
          --only-assembler <span>\</span>
          -1 miseq.1.fastq -2 miseq.2.fastq <span>\</span>
          --nanopore minion.fastq <span>\</span>
          -o hybrid_assembly
</code></pre></div><p>In turn, these parameters mean</p><ul>
<li>use 4 threads</li>
<li>max memory is 32Gb</li>
<li>use 3 kmer values to build the de bruijn graph(s) - 31, 51 and 71</li>
<li>only run the assembler, not the correction algorithm (for speed)</li>
<li>read 1 and read 2 of the MiSeq data</li>
<li>the nanopore data</li>
<li>put the output in folder &ldquo;hybrid_assembly&rdquo;</li>
</ul>]]></description>
