Get data

We will use the same Illumina data as we used above:

• illumina_R1.fastq.gz: the Illumina forward reads
• illumina_R2.fastq.gz: the Illumina reverse reads

Assemble

Run Spades:

spades.py -1 illumina_R1.fastq.gz -2 illumina_R2.fastq.gz --careful --cov-cutoff auto -o spades_assembly_all_illumina

• -1 is input file of forward reads
• -2 is input file of reverse reads
• --careful minimizes mismatches and short indels
• --cov-cutoff auto computes the coverage threshold (rather than the default setting, “off”)
• -o is the output directory

Results

Move into the output directory and look at the contigs:

infoseq contigs.fasta

SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION: Genomics of Adaptation [S16] Model organisms for life-history research are mainly studied in the lab where functional genetics is assessable. In general, however, knowledge about their eco-evolutionary dynamics, such as biotic interactions, is rare. By contrast, in organisms for which the ecology and adaptation strategies in the field are well known, we typically lack the appropriate genetic tools to investigate functionality. Advances in genomics and statistics as well as investments in evolutionary model organisms are now providing access to putatively adaptive genome-wide variation within species from across the tree of life. In this symposium, we focus on integrating life-history biology, genetics and evolutionary ecology in the genomics era.

We wish to (1) highlight the role of genetic architecture of complex traits, such as adaptations to biotic interactions or life-history traits; (2) contrast this to morphological traits which are generally thought to have a less complex genetic architecture; and (3) discuss the opportunities and drawbacks of specific model systems.

Good luck!

Progressive Cactus is a whole-genome alignment package.

Requirements

• git
• gcc 4.2 or newer
• python 2.7
• wget
• 64bit processor and build environment
• 150GB+ of memory on at least one machine when aligning mammal-sized genomes; less memory is needed for smaller genomes.
• Parasol or SGE for cluster support.
• 750M disk space

Instructions

IMPORTANT NOTE: Progressive Cactus does not presently support installation into paths that contain spaces. Until this is resolved, you can use a softlink as a workaround: ln -s "path with spaces" "installation path without spaces"

In the parent directory of where you want Progressive Cactus installed:

git clone git://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus.git
cd progressiveCactus
git pull
git submodule update --init
make

It is also convenient to add the location of progressiveCactus/bin to your PATH environment variable. In order to run the included tools (ex hal2maf) in the submodules/ directory structure, first source progressiveCactus/environment to load the installed environment.

If any errors occur during the build process, you are unlikely to be able to use the tool. Please submit a GitHub issue so we can help out: not only will you help yourself, but others who wish to use the tool as well.

Note that all dependencies are also built and included in the submodules/ directory. This increases the size and build time but greatly simplifies installation and version management. The installation does not create or modify any files outside the progressiveCactus/ directory.

In C, "sequence statements" are imperatives. The "selection" is the "if then else" statement, and the iteration is satisfied by a number of statements, such as the "while," " do," and the "for," while the case-type statement is satisfied by the "switch" statement.

Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a "text-based" detail (algorithmic) design tool.

The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing "dependency" are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch. Examples below will illustrate this notion.

GUIDE TO PSEUDOCODE LEVEL OF DETAIL: Given record/file descriptions, pseudocode should be created in sufficient detail so as to directly support the programming effort. It is the purpose of pseudocode to elaborate on the algorithmic detail and not just cite an abstraction.

Examples:

1.

If student's grade is greater than or equal to 60
    Print "passed"
else
    Print "failed"  
endif

2.

  
Set total to zero
Set grade counter to one
While grade counter is less than or equal to ten
    Input the next grade
    Add the grade into the total
endwhile 
Set the class average to the total divided by ten
Print the class average.

3.

Initialize total to zero
Initialize counter to zero
Input the first grade
while the user has not as yet entered the sentinel
   add this grade into the running total 
   add one to the grade counter  
   input the next grade (possibly the sentinel)
endwhile

if the counter is not equal to zero
   set the average to the total divided by the counter
   print the average  
else
   print 'no grades were entered' 
endif 

4.

initialize passes to zero
initialize failures to zero
initialize student to one
while student counter is less than or equal to ten
    input the next exam result  
    if the student passed

add one to passes else add one to failures add one to student counter endif endwhile print the number of passes print the number of failures if eight or more students passed print "raise tuition" endif

5.

NOTE:  NEVER ANY DATA DECLARATIONS IN PSEUDOCODE

Some Keywords That Should be Used And Additional Points

For looping and selection, The keywords that are to be used include Do While...EndDo; Do Until...Enddo; While .... Endwhile is acceptable. Also, Loop .... endloop is also VERY good and is language independent. Case...EndCase; If...Endif; Call ... with (parameters); Call; Return ....; Return; When;

Always use scope terminators for loops and iteration.

As verbs, use the words Generate, Compute, Process, etc. Words such as set, reset, increment, compute, calculate, add, sum, multiply, ... print, display, input, output, edit, test , etc. with careful indentation tend to foster desirable pseudocode. Also, using words such as Set and Initialize, when assigning values to variables is also desirable.

More on Formatting and Conventions in Pseudocoding

• INDENTATION in pseudocode should be identical to its implementation in a programming language. Try to indent at least four spaces.
• As noted above, the pseudocode entries are to be cryptic, AND SHOULD NOT BE PROSE. NO SENTENCES.
• No flower boxes (discussed ahead) in your pseudocode.
• Do not include data declarations in your pseudocode.
• But do cite variables that are initialized as part of their declarations. E.g. "initialize count to zero" is a good entry.

  Function Calls, Function Documentation, and Pseudocode
• Calls to Functions should appear as:
• Returns in functions should appear as:
• Function headers should appear as:
• Note that in C, arguments and parameters such as "fieldn" could be written: "pointer to fieldn ...."
• Functions called with addresses should be written as:
• Function headers containing pointers should be indicated as:
• Returns in functions where a pointer is returned:
• It would not hurt the appearance of your pseudocode to draw a line or make your function header line "bold" in your pseudocode. Try to set off your functions.
• Try to use scope terminators in your pseudocode and source code too. It really hels the readability of the text.

  ---

  Source Code
• EVERY function should have a flowerbox PRECEDING IT. This flower box is to include the functions name, the main purpose of the function, parameters it is expecting (number and type), and the type of the data it returns. All of these listed items are to be on separate lines with spaces in between each explanatory item.
• FORMAT of flowerbox should be

   

  	 ********************************************************
  	 Function:   ( cryptic text describing single function
  		     ....... (indented like this) 	
  		     .......
  	 Calls:      Start listing functions "this" function calls
  		     Show these functions:  one per line, indented
  
  	 Called by:  List of functions that calls "this" function
  		     Show these functions:  one per line, indented.
  
  	 Input Parameters:  list, if appropriate; else None
  	 
  	 Returns:    List, if appropriate.
  	 ****************************************************************
  

• INDENTATION is critically important in Source Code. Follow standard examples given in class. If in doubt, ASK. Always indent statements within IFs, FOR loops, WILLE loops, SWITCH statements, etc. a consistent number of spaces, such as four. Alternatively, use the tab key. One or two spaces is insufficient.
• Use scope terminators at the end of if statements, for statements, while statements, and at the end of functions. It will make your program much more readable.
