	<description><![CDATA[<p>SSPACE standard is a stand-alone program for scaffolding pre-assembled contigs using NGS paired-read data. It is unique in offering the possibility to manually control the scaffolding process. By using the distance information of paired-end and/or matepair data, SSPACE is able to assess the order, distance and orientation of your contigs and combine them into scaffolds. Currently we offer this as a command-line tool in Perl. The input data is given by pre-assembled contig sequences (FASTA) and NGS paired-read data (Illumina/454/Solid FASTA or FASTQ). The final scaffolds are provided in FASTA format.</p>

Advanced options:

                                [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>

          --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>

	<title><![CDATA[Genome assembly stats plotting]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A&nbsp;<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;genome assembly can be summarised b</p>
<p>y a number of metrics, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Overall assembly length</li>
<li>Number of scaffolds/contigs</li>
<li>Length of longest scaffold/contig</li>
<li>Scaffold/contig N50 and N90Assembly base composition, in particular percentage GC and percentage Ns</li>
<li>CEGMA completeness</li>
<li>Scaffold/contig length/count distribution</li>
</ul>
<p>assembly-stats supports two widely used presentations of these values, tabular and cumulative length plots, and introduces an additional circular plot that summarises most commonly used assembly metrics in a single visualisation. Each of these presentations is generated using javascript from a common (JSON) data structure, allowing toggling between alternative views, and each can be applied to a single or multiple assemblies to allow direct comparison of alternate assemblies.</p>
<p>Tabular presentation allows direct comparison of exact values between assemblies, the limitations of this approach lie in the necessary omission of distributions and the challenge of interpreting ratios of values that may vary by several orders of magnitude.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/rjchallis/assembly-stats" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rjchallis/assembly-stats</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[assemblytics: delta file to analyze alignments of an assembly to another assembly or a reference genome]]></title>
	<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.
