	<description><![CDATA[<p>gKaKs is a codon-based genome-level Ka/Ks computation pipeline developed and based on programs from four widely used packages: BLAT, BLASTALL (including bl2seq, formatdb and fastacmd), PAML (including codeml and yn00) and KaKs_Calculator (including 10 substitution rate estimation methods). gKaKs can automatically detect and eliminate frameshift mutations and premature stop codons to compute the substitution rates (Ka, Ks and Ka/Ks) between a well-annotated genome and a non-annotated genome or even a poorly assembled scaffold dataset. It is especially useful for newly sequenced genomes that have not been well annotated.&nbsp;</p>

	<title><![CDATA[FERMI]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Fermi is a de novo assembler with a particular focus on assembling Illumina&nbsp;</span><span>short sequence reads from a mammal-sized genome. In addition to the role of a&nbsp;</span><span>typical assembler, fermi also aims to preserve heterozygotes which are often&nbsp;</span><span>collapsed by other assemblers. Its ultimate goal is to find a minimal set of</span><br><span>unitigs to represent all the information in raw reads.</span><br><br><span>Fermi follows the overlap-layout-consensus paradigm and uses the FM-DNA-index&nbsp;</span><span>(FMD-index) as the key data structure. It is inspired by the string graph&nbsp;</span><span>assembler (Simpson and Durbin, 2010 and 2012) and has a similar workflow.</span><br><br><span>As a typical de novo assembler, fermi tends to produce contigs with slightly&nbsp;</span><span>longer N50. However, the major weakness of fermi is the high misassembly rate.&nbsp;</span><span>Although fermi provides a tool to fix misassemblies by using paired-end reads&nbsp;</span><span>to achieve an accuracy comparable to other assemblers, this is not a favorable&nbsp;</span><span>solution.</span><br><br><span>Fermi is designed to be used on a multi-core Linux machine with large shared&nbsp;</span><span>memory. The easiest way to run fermi is to use the run-fermi.pl script. It&nbsp;</span><span>generates a Makefile. The actual assembly is done by invoking make. Premature&nbsp;</span><span>assembly processes can be resumed. Here is an example:</span><br><br><span>run-fermi.pl -dAPe ./fermi -p NA12878 -t16 -f18 reads*.fq.gz &gt; NA12878.mak</span><br><span>make -f NA12878.mak -j16</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/lh3/fermi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lh3/fermi</a></p>]]></description>

<p id="p-2">Summary: GenomeScope is an open-source web tool to rapidly estimate the overall characteristics of a genome, including genome size, heterozygosity rate, and repeat content from unprocessed short reads. These features are essential for studying genome evolution, and help to choose parameters for downstream analysis. We demonstrate its accuracy on 324 simulated and 16 real datasets with a wide range in genome sizes, heterozygosity levels, and error rates.

	<title><![CDATA[CANU genome assembly parameters !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Choose the appropriate parameters to run Canu and run it. The assembly will take about an hour. You can use two cores (parameter&nbsp;<code>-maxThreads=2</code>) and you would like to disable cluster option, since we compute on a single Amazon server set off the option to compute on cluster&nbsp;<code>useGrid=false</code>. This specifications should be for your project discussed with a local computing guru. The parameters that are in square brackets&nbsp;<code>[]</code>&nbsp;are optional, symbol&nbsp;<code>|</code>&nbsp;stands for "or".</p><pre><code>usage:   canu [-correct | -trim | -assemble | -trim-assemble] \
              [-s ] \
               -p  \
               -d  \
               genomeSize=[g|m|k] \
               -maxThreads=2 \
               useGrid=false \
              [other-options] \
               read_file.fastq.gz
</code></pre><p>A default&nbsp;<code>Canu</code>&nbsp;run produces usually high quality assembly, example of a command that was used for testing can be found below. However, there are still a lot of parameters that are possible to tweak. For example if we desire to assemble haplotypes separately of if we want to smash them together, we can alternate the error correction process.</p><pre><code>canu -p test_asmbl \
     -d asm_test3 \
     genomeSize=2m \
     -maxThreads=2 useGrid=false \
     -pacbio-raw \ ~/pacbio/dna/sample_reads.fastq.gz</code></pre><p>There is a brilliant&nbsp;<a href="http://canu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-parameters-can-i-tweak">section in documentation</a>&nbsp;about parameter tweaking.</p><p>The output directory contains will contain many files. The most interesting ones are:</p><ul>
<li><code>*.correctedReads.fasta.gz</code>&nbsp;: file containing the input sequences after correction, trim and split based on consensus evidence.</li>
<li><code>*.trimmedReads.fastq</code>&nbsp;: file containing the sequences after correction and final trimming</li>
<li><code>*.layout</code>&nbsp;: file containing informations about read inclusion in the final assembly</li>
<li><code>*.gfa</code>&nbsp;: file containing the assembly graph by Canu</li>
<li><code>*.contigs.fasta</code>&nbsp;: file containing everything that could be assembled and is part of the primary assembly</li>
</ul><p>The basic stats of assembly can be read from reports generated by the assembler, or calculated using standard UNIX command line tools.</p><p>More at&nbsp;https://canu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Maq: Mapping and Assembly with Quality]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Maq</strong>&nbsp;stands for&nbsp;<em>Mapping and Assembly with Quality</em>&nbsp;It builds assembly by mapping short reads to reference sequences. Maq is a project hosted by&nbsp;<a href="http://sourceforge.net/">SourceForge.net</a>. The project page is available at<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/maq/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/maq/</a>. Maq is previously known as mapass2.</p>
<h2>Run Maq Now</h2>
<p>Follow these steps to try Maq. All you need is a reference sequence file in the FASTA format.</p>
<ol>
<li>Prepare a reference sequence (ref.fasta). Better a bacterial genome.</li>
<li>Download maq, maq-data and maqview at the&nbsp;<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=191815">download page</a>.</li>
<li>Copy maq, maq.pl and maq_eval.pl to the $PATH or to the same directory.</li>
<li>Simulate diploid reference and read sequences, map reads, call variants and evaluate the results in one go:
<pre>maq.pl demo ref.fasta calib-30.dat
</pre>
where&nbsp;<em>calib-30.dat</em>&nbsp;is contained in maq-data.</li>
<li>View the alignment:
<pre>cd maqdemo/easyrun;
maqindex -i -c consensus.cns all.map;
maqview -c consensus.cns all.map</pre>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Even for advanced maq users, running `maq.pl demo' is recommended. You may find something helpful.</strong></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://maq.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://maq.sourceforge.net</a></p>]]></description>

<p dir="auto">The edges and path steps are recorded as deltas between the current node id and the target node id, where the node id corresponds to the rank in the global array of nodes. Graphs built from biological data sets tend to have local partial order and, when sorted, the deltas be small. This allows them to be compressed with a variable length integer representation, resulting in a small in-memory footprint at the cost of packing and unpacking.</p>
<p dir="auto">The RAM and computational savings are substantial.
