	<title><![CDATA[Blobsplorer]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Blobsplorer is a tool for interactive visualization of assembled DNA sequence data ("contigs") derived from (often unintentionally) mixed-species pools. It allows the simultaneous display of GC content, coverage, and taxonomic annotation for collections of contigs with a view to separating out those belonging to different taxa.</p>
<p>Blobsplorer is unlikely to be of use on its own as it requires contig data to be supplied in a format that involves considerable preprocessing (see below for a description). The easiest way to use Blobsplorer is as part of a workflow using scripts from <a href="https://github.com/blaxterlab/blobology">here</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://nematodes.org/martin/blobsplorer/blobsplorer.html" rel="nofollow">http://nematodes.org/martin/blobsplorer/blobsplorer.html</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>CSBB is a command line based bioinformatics suite to analyze biological data acquired through varied avenues of biological experiments. CSBB is implemented in Perl, while it also leverages the use of R and python in background for specific modules. Major focus of CSBB is to allow users from biology and bioinformatics community, to get benefited by performing down-stream analysis tasks while eliminating the need to write programming code. CSBB is currently available on Linux, UNIX, MAC OS and Windows platforms.</p>
<p>Currently CSBB provides 13 modules focused on analytical tasks like performing upper-quantile normalization on expression data or convert genome wide gene expression to z-scores when comparing expression data from different platforms.</p>

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

-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>
