	<title><![CDATA[CrossMap: a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[CrossMap is a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates (or annotation files) between different assemblies (such as Human hg18 (NCBI36) &lt;&gt; hg19 (GRCh37), Mouse mm9 (MGSCv37) &lt;&gt; mm10 (GRCm38)).

It supports most commonly used file formats including SAM/BAM, Wiggle/BigWig, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.

CrossMap is designed to liftover genome coordinates between assemblies. 

It’s not a program for aligning sequences to reference genome.

We do not recommend using CrossMap to convert genome coordinates between species.<p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://crossmap.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://crossmap.sourceforge.net</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Download and install MUMmer
Align your assembly to a reference genome using nucmer (from MUMmer package)
$ nucmer -maxmatch -l 100 -c 500 REFERENCE.fa ASSEMBLY.fa -prefix OUT
Consult the MUMmer manual if you encounter problems

Optional: Gzip the delta file to speed up upload (usually 2-4X faster)
$ gzip OUT.delta
Then use the OUT.delta.gz file for upload.
Upload the .delta or delta.gz file (view example) to Assemblytics
Important: Use only contigs rather than scaffolds from the assembly. This will prevent false positives when the number of Ns in the scaffolded sequence does not match perfectly to the distance in the reference.

The unique sequence length required represents an anchor for determining if a sequence is unique enough to safely call variants from, which is an alternative to the mapping quality filter for read alignment.

	<title><![CDATA[Purge Haplotigs: Pipeline to help with curating heterozygous diploid genome assemblies]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Some parts of a genome may have a very high degree of heterozygosity. This causes contigs for both haplotypes of that part of the genome to be assembled as separate primary contigs, rather than as a contig and an associated haplotig. This can be an issue for downstream analysis whether you're working on the haploid or phased-diploid assembly.</p>
<p><span>Identify pairs of contigs that are syntenic and move one of them to the haplotig 'pool'. The pipeline uses mapped read coverage and Minimap2 alignments to determine which contigs to keep for the haploid assembly. Dotplots are optionally produced for all flagged contig matches, juxtaposed with read-coverage, to help the user determine the proper assignment of any remaining ambiguous contigs. The pipeline will run on either a haploid assembly (i.e. Canu, FALCON or FALCON-Unzip primary contigs) or on a phased-diploid assembly (i.e. FALCON-Unzip primary contigs + haplotigs). Here are&nbsp;</span><a href="https://bitbucket.org/mroachawri/purge_haplotigs/wiki/Examples">two examples</a><span>&nbsp;of how Purge Haplotigs can improve a haploid and diploid assembly.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/mroachawri/purge_haplotigs" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/mroachawri/purge_haplotigs</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] \

              [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>
