	<title><![CDATA[KAT: a K-mer analysis toolkit to quality control NGS datasets and genome assemblies]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>KAT is a suite of tools that analyse jellyfish hashes or sequence files (fasta or fastq) using kmer counts. The following tools are currently available in KAT:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>hist</span>: Create an histogram of k-mer occurrences from a sequence file. Adds metadata in output for easy plotting.</li>
<li><span>gcp:</span>&nbsp;K-mer GC Processor. Creates a matrix of the number of K-mers found given a GC count and a K-mer count.</li>
<li><span>comp</span>: K-mer comparison tool. Creates a matrix of shared K-mers between two (or three) sequence files or hashes.</li>
<li><span>sect</span>: SEquence Coverage estimator Tool. Estimates the coverage of each sequence in a file using K-mers from another sequence file.</li>
<li><span>blob</span>: Given, reads and an assembly, calculates both the read and assembly K-mer coverage along with GC% for each sequence in the assembly.SEquence Coverage estimator Tool.</li>
<li><span>filter</span>: Filtering tools. Contains tools for filtering k-mer hashes and FastQ/A files:
<ul>
<li><span>kmer</span>: Produces a k-mer hash containing only k-mers within specified coverage and GC tolerances.</li>
<li><span>seq</span>: Filters a sequence file based on whether or not the sequences contain k-mers within a provided hash.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>plot</span>: Plotting tools. Contains several plotting tools to visualise K-mer and compare distributions. The following plot tools are available:
<ul>
<li><span>density</span>: Creates a density plot from a matrix created with the "comp" tool. Typically this is used to compare two K-mer hashes produced by different NGS reads.</li>
<li><span>profile</span>: Creates a K-mer coverage plot for a single sequence. Takes in fasta coverage output coverage from the "sect" tool</li>
<li><span>spectra-cn</span>: Creates a stacked histogram using a matrix created with the "comp" tool. Typically this is used to compare a jellyfish hash produced from a read set to a jellyfish hash produced from an assembly. The plot shows the amount of distinct K-mers absent, as well as the copy number variation present within the assembly.</li>
<li><span>spectra-hist</span>: Creates a K-mer spectra plot for a set of K-mer histograms produced either by jellyfish-histo or kat-histo.</li>
<li><span>spectra-mx</span>: Creates a K-mer spectra plot for a set of K-mer histograms that are derived from selected rows or columns in a matrix produced by the "comp".</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, KAT contains a python script for analysing the mathematical distributions present in the K-mer spectra in order to determine how much content is present in each peak.</p>
<p>This README only contains some brief details of how to install and use KAT. For more extensive documentation please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://kat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/">https://kat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/</a></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually:</p><pre><code>minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta racon_assembly.fasta
nucmer -p nucmer assembly.fasta racon_assembly.fasta
show-snps -C -T -r nucmer.delta
</code></pre><p>This reports Racon's changes in a table. You can exclude indels with the&nbsp;<code>-I</code>&nbsp;option in&nbsp;<code>show-snps</code>.&nbsp;</p><p>This process (Racon -&gt; MUMmer -&gt; SNP table) solves the problem I originally raised in this issue. So as far as I'm concerned, you can close this issue (or keep it open if you still want to implement some kind of variant table).</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>QUAST-LG-a tool that compares large genomic de novo assemblies against reference sequences and computes relevant quality metrics. Since genomes generally cannot be reconstructed completely due to complex repeat patterns and low coverage regions, we introduce a concept of upper bound assembly for a given genome and set of reads, and compute theoretical limits on assembly correctness and completeness. Using QUAST-LG, we show how close the assemblies are to the theoretical optimum, and how far this optimum is from the finished reference.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[The 5 reasons to mistakes at bioinformatics work !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program. There are some problems that trip up nearly every bioinformatician--everything from getting started understanding the biological problems to dealing with program design. Some random mistakes are so prominent that even experienced biological programmers do it. The 8 years in bioinformatics and my few random observations, most of them are snarky. These reasons will always take longer than expected and compel you to postpone your project deadline.</p><p><strong>1.Stupid for biologist:</strong> Biology is so complex that it will make bioinformatician feel stupid. There are no any universal fixed rules; it can surprise you any time. So be nice to biologists who ask questions and resolve your biological puzzles. Sometime you will have no idea what the hell you were doing either.<br /><br /><strong>2.Puzzling why:</strong> Do not hesitate to ask question. Especially. at the beginning of project you will have to ask a lot of questions. Instead of puzzling it out at end check out and clear your doubt even for a single error. It may can leads to wrong conclusion.<br /><br /><strong>3.Running marathon:</strong> The most of the biological software&rsquo;s documentation is always incomplete. In other word they are no more than 95 percent complete. Sometime a single problem can halt your entire project for months. Compilation and running the pipelines in tedious because almost all are interdependent and need proper configuration. I face the same kind of problem with Evolver :( &hellip; <br /><br /><strong>4.Folders missing:</strong> The pipelines generate lots of data, and we keep them in several folders for future use. But sometime we delete them by mistake and move to recovery&hellip;<br /><br /><strong>5.Digging deeper:</strong> Digging deeper is fruitful, but some time it can be catastrophic. You may get frustrated or direction less. So keep a biologist with you for rescue &hellip;. Sometime an expert computer programmer to handle your server. Remember, the server will always go down when you need it the most.<br /><br />The most common frustrating&nbsp; common line: Why do we do this again?</p>]]></description>
