	<description><![CDATA[<p>Miniasm is a very fast OLC-based&nbsp;<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/pmelsted/GFA-spec/blob/master/GFA-spec.md">GFA</a>&nbsp;format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Celera_Assembler_Terminology">unitig</a>&nbsp;sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.</p><p>Find the detail of the reads repeats:</p><blockquote><p>fq2fa ONT_A.fastq ONT_A.fasta&nbsp;<br /><br />minimap2 -xava-ont ONT_A.fasta ONT_A.fasta -t10 -X &gt; AONT.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />awk '{if($1==$6){print}}' AONT.paf &gt; AONTself.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />awk '$5=="-"' AONTself.paf | awk '{print $1}'| sort|uniq &gt; invertedrepeat.list</p></blockquote><p>Generated a few palindrome and repeats plots (highlighting only repeats largest than 10, 20 and 30 kb)</p><blockquote><p>minidot -f 5 -m 30000 AONTself.paf &gt; AONTself30000.eps&nbsp;<br />sed 's/_template_pass_FAH31515//' AONTself30000.eps &gt; AONTself30000final.eps&nbsp;<br /><br />minidot -f 5 -m 20000 AONTself.paf &gt; AONTself20000.eps&nbsp;<br />sed 's/_template_pass_FAH31515//' AONTself20000.eps &gt; AONTself20000final.eps&nbsp;<br /><br />minidot -f 5 -m 10000 AONTself.paf &gt; AONTself10000.eps&nbsp;<br />sed 's/_template_pass_FAH31515//' AONTself10000.eps &gt; AONTself10000final.eps&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>Assemble with miniasm:</p><blockquote><p>miniasm -f ONT_A.fasta AONT.paf &gt; AONT.gfa&nbsp;</p><p>grep '^S' AONT.gfa |awk '{print "&gt;"$2"\n"$3}' &gt; AONT_miniasm.fasta&nbsp;<br /><br />minimap2 -xasm10 AONT_miniasm.fasta AONT_miniasm.fasta -t1 -X &gt; AONT_miniasm.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />awk '{if($1==$6){print}}' AONT_miniasm.paf &gt; AONT_miniasm_self.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />minidot -f 5 -m 10000 AONT_miniasm_self.paf &gt; AONT_miniasm_self10000.eps&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>Njoy the assembly !</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[BBSplit: Read Binning Tool for Metagenomes and Contaminated Libraries]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>BBSplit internally uses BBMap to map reads to multiple genomes at once, and determine which genome they match best. This is different than with ordinary mapping. If a genome (say, human) contains an exact repeat somewhere, reads mapping to it will be mapped ambiguously. But if you want to determine whether reads are mouse or human, it does not matter whether they map ambiguously within human, only whether they are ambiguous between human and mouse. BBSplit tracks this additional ambiguity information and decides how to use it based on the &ldquo;ambig2&rdquo; flag. The normal use of BBSplit is like Seal, either quantifying how many reads go to each reference, or splitting the reads into multiple output files, one per reference. BBSplit can only be run using references indexed with BBSplit, as they contain additional information regarding which sequences came from which reference file.</p><p><span>BBSplit is a tool that bins reads by mapping to multiple references simultaneously, using&nbsp;</span><a href="http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41057" target="_blank">BBMap</a><span>. The reads go to the bin of the reference they map to best. There are also disambiguation options, such that reads that map to multiple references can be binned with all of them, none of them, one of them, or put in a special "ambiguous" file for each of them. Paired reads will always be kept together.</span><br /><br /><span>For example, if you had a library of something that was contaminated with e.coli and salmonella, you could do this:</span><br /><br /><strong>bbsplit.sh in=reads.fq ref=ecoli.fa,salmonella.fa basename=out_%.fq outu=clean.fq int=t</strong><br /><br /><span>This will produce 3 output files:</span><br /><strong>out_ecoli.fq</strong><span>&nbsp;(ecoli reads)</span><br /><strong>out_salmonella.fq</strong><span>&nbsp;(salmonella reads)</span><br /><strong>clean.fq</strong><span>&nbsp;(unmapped reads)</span><br /><br /><span>In this case, "int=t" means that the input file is paired and interleaved. For single-end reads you would leave that out. For paired reads in 2 files, you would do this:</span><br /><strong>bbsplit.sh in1=reads1.fq in2=reads2.fq ref=ecoli.fa,salmonella.fa basename=out_%.fq outu1=clean1.fq outu2=clean2.fq</strong></p><p><strong><span>BBSplit is available here:</span><br /><a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbmap/" target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbmap/</a></strong></p><p><span>The sensitivity can be raised to be equivalent to BBMap with these flags: "minratio=0.56 minhits=1 maxindel=16000"</span></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[BamView: a free interactive display of read alignments in BAM data files]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>To run the application on UNIX from the downloaded jar file run the UNIX:</p>
<p><tt>java -mx512m -jar BamView.jar</tt></p>
<p>and extra command line options are given when '-h' is used:</p>
<p><tt>java -jar BamView.jar -h</tt></p>
<p>BAM files can be specified on the command line with the '-a' option:</p>
<p><tt>java -mx512m -jar BamView.jar -a pathToFile/sorted.bam</tt></p>
<p>If a BAM filename is not given on the command line BamView will prompt for a file to be entered. The BAM index file should have the same name as the BAM file but with a '.bai' suffix. Multiple BAM files can be loaded and overlaid in the viewer. To make this easier BamView will read in files that contain a list of filenames.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm doing a bit more statistical analysis on some bioinformatics things lately, and I'm curious if there are any programming languages that are particularly good for this NGS computation. What suggestions do you guys have? Are there any languages that have exceptionally good libraries?</p>]]></description>
