	<title><![CDATA[Linux command line exercises for NGS data processing]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce students to the frequently used tools for NGS analysis as well as giving experience in writing one-liners. Copy the required files to your current directory, change directory (<code>cd</code>) to the <code>linuxTutorial</code> folder, and do all the processing inside:</p>
<pre><span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$</span> cp -r /home/opt/MScBioinformatics/linuxTutorial .
<span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$</span> cd linuxTutorial
<span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$</span>
</pre>
<p>I have deliberately chosen <code>Awk</code> in the exercises as it is a language in itself and is used more often to manipulate NGS data as compared to the other command line tools such as <code>grep</code>, <code>sed</code>, <code>perl</code> etc. Furthermore, having a command on <code>awk</code> will make it easier to understand advanced tutorials such as <a href="http://userweb.eng.gla.ac.uk/umer.ijaz/bioinformatics/Illumina_workflow.html">Illumina Amplicons Processing Workflow</a>. <br><br> In <code>Linux</code>, we use a shell that is a program that takes your commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system. Most Linux systems utilize Bourne Again SHell (<code>bash</code>), but there are several additional shell programs on a typical Linux system such as <code>ksh</code>, <code>tcsh</code>, and <code>zsh</code>. To see which shell you are using, type</p>
<pre><span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$</span> echo $SHELL

<span>/bin/bash

	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Genome STRiP</strong><span>&nbsp;(Genome STRucture In Populations) is a suite of tools for discovering and genotyping structural variations using sequencing data. The methods are designed to detect shared variation using data from multiple individuals.</span><br><br><span>Genome STRiP looks both across and within a set of sequenced genomes to detect variation. The methods are adaptive and support heterogeneous data sets, including variations in sequencing depth, read lengths and mixtures of paired and single-end reads. A minimum of 20 to 30 genomes are required to get acceptable results, but the method gains power across genomes and processing more genomes provide better results.</span><br><br><span>To run discovery or genotyping on a single sequenced genome or a small set of genomes, you need to call your data against a background population, such as a set of genomes from the 1000 Genomes Project.&nbsp; The background population does not need to be matched to the target individuals.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://software.broadinstitute.org/software/genomestrip/" rel="nofollow">http://software.broadinstitute.org/software/genomestrip/</a></p>]]></description>

	<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>
