• Your file must be plain text.
• Your data values must be non-negative integers.
• Data must be space-separated (one or more tab or space, which will be collapsed).
• No two rows or columns may have the same name.
• Column and row names must begin with a letter (e.g. 'A', 'A0', 'A-0') and can only contain letters, numbers and _. No punctuation!
• Maximum row + column total is 150 — if exceeded, rows and columns are limited to 75.
• If you are using order, size and color rows/columns in combination they must appear in that order.

A set of tools for viral metagenomics.

virmet is called with a command subcommand syntax: virmet fetch --viral n, for example, downloads the bacterial database. Other available subcommands so far are

• fetch download genomes
• update update viral/bacterial database
• index index genomes
• wolfpack analyze a Miseq run
• covplot plot coverage for a specific organism

A short help is obtained with virmet subcommand -h.

To use CLgenomics, individual genome data (genome sequences + annotation details) are compiled and saved in a specially formatted file called CLG (ChunLab Genomics). Each CLG file corresponds with one bacterial genome. If multiple genomes are being considered and compared, multiple CLG files are needed. ChunLab offers >40,000 CLG files of publicly available Bacterial and Archaeal genomes.

usage:   canu [-correct | -trim | -assemble | -trim-assemble] \
              [-s ] \
               -p  \
               -d  \
               genomeSize=[g|m|k] \
               -maxThreads=2 \
               useGrid=false \
              [other-options] \
               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.
