mScaffolder scaffolds a genome using an existing high quality genome as the reference. It aligns the two genomes using nucmer utility from MUMmer and then orders and orients the contigs of the candidate genome guided by their alignments to the reference genome. Please send your questions and comments to mchakrab@uci.edu.

usage:   canu [-correct | -trim | -assemble | -trim-assemble] \

               read_file.fastq.gz

A default Canu 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.

canu -p test_asmbl \
     -d asm_test3 \
     genomeSize=2m \
     -maxThreads=2 useGrid=false \
     -pacbio-raw \ ~/pacbio/dna/sample_reads.fastq.gz

There is a brilliant section in documentation about parameter tweaking.

The output directory contains will contain many files. The most interesting ones are:

• *.correctedReads.fasta.gz : file containing the input sequences after correction, trim and split based on consensus evidence.
• *.trimmedReads.fastq : file containing the sequences after correction and final trimming
• *.layout : file containing informations about read inclusion in the final assembly
• *.gfa : file containing the assembly graph by Canu
• *.contigs.fasta : file containing everything that could be assembled and is part of the primary assembly

The basic stats of assembly can be read from reports generated by the assembler, or calculated using standard UNIX command line tools.
