	<title><![CDATA[KAT: a K-mer analysis toolkit to quality control NGS datasets and genome assemblies]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>KAT is a suite of tools that analyse jellyfish hashes or sequence files (fasta or fastq) using kmer counts. The following tools are currently available in KAT:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>hist</span>: Create an histogram of k-mer occurrences from a sequence file. Adds metadata in output for easy plotting.</li>
<li><span>gcp:</span>&nbsp;K-mer GC Processor. Creates a matrix of the number of K-mers found given a GC count and a K-mer count.</li>
<li><span>comp</span>: K-mer comparison tool. Creates a matrix of shared K-mers between two (or three) sequence files or hashes.</li>
<li><span>sect</span>: SEquence Coverage estimator Tool. Estimates the coverage of each sequence in a file using K-mers from another sequence file.</li>
<li><span>blob</span>: Given, reads and an assembly, calculates both the read and assembly K-mer coverage along with GC% for each sequence in the assembly.SEquence Coverage estimator Tool.</li>
<li><span>filter</span>: Filtering tools. Contains tools for filtering k-mer hashes and FastQ/A files:
<ul>
<li><span>kmer</span>: Produces a k-mer hash containing only k-mers within specified coverage and GC tolerances.</li>
<li><span>seq</span>: Filters a sequence file based on whether or not the sequences contain k-mers within a provided hash.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>plot</span>: Plotting tools. Contains several plotting tools to visualise K-mer and compare distributions. The following plot tools are available:
<ul>
<li><span>density</span>: Creates a density plot from a matrix created with the "comp" tool. Typically this is used to compare two K-mer hashes produced by different NGS reads.</li>
<li><span>profile</span>: Creates a K-mer coverage plot for a single sequence. Takes in fasta coverage output coverage from the "sect" tool</li>
<li><span>spectra-cn</span>: Creates a stacked histogram using a matrix created with the "comp" tool. Typically this is used to compare a jellyfish hash produced from a read set to a jellyfish hash produced from an assembly. The plot shows the amount of distinct K-mers absent, as well as the copy number variation present within the assembly.</li>
<li><span>spectra-hist</span>: Creates a K-mer spectra plot for a set of K-mer histograms produced either by jellyfish-histo or kat-histo.</li>
<li><span>spectra-mx</span>: Creates a K-mer spectra plot for a set of K-mer histograms that are derived from selected rows or columns in a matrix produced by the "comp".</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, KAT contains a python script for analysing the mathematical distributions present in the K-mer spectra in order to determine how much content is present in each peak.</p>
<p>This README only contains some brief details of how to install and use KAT. For more extensive documentation please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://kat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/">https://kat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/</a></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>I will be doing NGS in the course of my research work and I will like to learn a programming language which is compatible with most bioinformatics tools or software. I basically want to do de-novo assembly, map reads, align reads, and expression analysis. Recommendations welcomed. Which languages would you recommend to a student wishing to enter the world of bioinformatics?</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[My commonly used commands in Bioinformatics]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually:</p><pre><code>minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta racon_assembly.fasta
nucmer -p nucmer assembly.fasta racon_assembly.fasta
show-snps -C -T -r nucmer.delta
</code></pre><p>This reports Racon's changes in a table. You can exclude indels with the&nbsp;<code>-I</code>&nbsp;option in&nbsp;<code>show-snps</code>.&nbsp;</p><p>This process (Racon -&gt; MUMmer -&gt; SNP table) solves the problem I originally raised in this issue. So as far as I'm concerned, you can close this issue (or keep it open if you still want to implement some kind of variant table).</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[QUAST-LG: Versatile genome assembly evaluation]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>QUAST-LG-a tool that compares large genomic de novo assemblies against reference sequences and computes relevant quality metrics. Since genomes generally cannot be reconstructed completely due to complex repeat patterns and low coverage regions, we introduce a concept of upper bound assembly for a given genome and set of reads, and compute theoretical limits on assembly correctness and completeness. Using QUAST-LG, we show how close the assemblies are to the theoretical optimum, and how far this optimum is from the finished reference.</p>
