	<title><![CDATA[Monitor running jobs on Linux server]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>You as a bioinformatican run lots of program on your servers. Sometime the shared server is also used by your colleague. If server is busy you sometime need to check the running programs and want to monitor the running programs as well. The "top" command will come in handy when you need to find out if things are still running, how long they&rsquo;ve been running, or how much memory is being used.<br /><br />&lsquo;top&rsquo; is very simple to run: type<br /><br />%% top<br /><br />You&rsquo;ll get a screen that looks like this, and is updated regularly:<br /><br /><img src="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/mod/photo/top.png" width="659" height="582" alt="image" style="border: 0px;"><br />Simple, right? Heh.<br /><br />First! Note that you can use &lsquo;q&rsquo; or &lsquo;CTRL-C&rsquo; to exit from &lsquo;top&rsquo;.<br /><br />Now let&rsquo;s read and understand at each line independently.<br /><br />The first line:<br /><br />top - 23:00:48 up 39 days,&nbsp; 2 user,&nbsp; load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00<br /><br />The first line tells you the current time, how long the machine has been up, how many users are logged in, and the short/medium/long-term compute load on the machine. If you run something for a long time, you&rsquo;ll see these numbers go up. Right now, the machine is basically just sitting there, so these are all close to 0.<br /><br />The second line:</p><p>Tasks:&nbsp; 239 total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 running,&nbsp; 238 sleeping,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 stopped,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 zombie<br /><br />This line tells you how many processes are running. If you are using laptops machines it&rsquo;s not so interesting because you really are the only one using this machine.<br /><br />Cpu(s):&nbsp; 0.0%us,&nbsp; 0.0%sy,&nbsp; 0.0%ni,100.0%id,&nbsp; 0.0%wa,&nbsp; 0.0%hi,&nbsp; 0.0%si,&nbsp; 0.0%st<br /><br />This line contains the CPU load. The first two numbers are how busy the system is doing computation (&ldquo;us&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;user&rdquo;) and how busy the system is doing system-y things like accessing disks or network (&ldquo;sy&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;system&rdquo;). We&rsquo;ll talk more about this later.<br /><br />Mem:&nbsp;&nbsp; 49457320k total,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3492174k used,&nbsp; 14535596k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1435148k buffers<br /><br />This should be easy to understand &ndash; how much memory you&rsquo;re using! <br /><br />Swap:&nbsp;&nbsp; 539356k total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 28332k used,&nbsp;&nbsp; 836562k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 29862014k cached<br /><br />Swap is just on-disk memory that can be used to &ldquo;swap&rdquo; out programs from main memory. Again, we&rsquo;ll talk about this later.:<br /><br />PID USER&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PR&nbsp; NI&nbsp; VIRT&nbsp; RES&nbsp; SHR S %CPU %MEM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TIME+&nbsp; COMMAND<br />&nbsp; 1 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 39 &nbsp; 19&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 246:57.22 kipmi0<br />&nbsp; 2 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RT&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 0:00.00 migration/0<br /><br />And... finally! What&rsquo;s actually running! The two most important numbers are the %CPU and %MEM towards the right, as well as the COMMAND. This tells you how compute- and memory-intensive your program is. Right now, nothing&rsquo;s running so the numbers aren&rsquo;t very interesting, but just wait until we run something...</p>]]></description>

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
                                [default: &lt;output_dir&gt;/tmp]
-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>

We evaluated our tool on 30&times; simulated pair-end reads from Arabidopsis thaliana with 1% base error. COPE connected over 99% of reads with 98.8% accuracy, which is, respectively, 10 and 2% higher than the recently published tool FLASH. When COPE is applied to real reads for genome assembly, the resulting contigs are found to have fewer errors and give a 14-fold improvement in the N50 measurement when compared with the contigs produced using unconnected reads.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="ftp://ftp.genomics.org.cn/pub/cope" rel="nofollow">ftp://ftp.genomics.org.cn/pub/cope</a></p>]]></description>
