the study of the sequence-structure relationship
(application -> structure prediction)
the study of the structure-function relationship
(application -> function prediction)

Therefore, anything related to the configuration (sequence) and conformation (structure) in atomic systems of proteins and nucleic acids, and the interaction of these with other elements (function) is of our major interest.

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.
