	<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] \
               -maxThreads=2 \
               useGrid=false \
              [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>

	<title><![CDATA[Ancient whole genome duplication (WGD) detection tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are two methods for ancient WGD detection, one is collinearity analysis, and the other is based on the Ks distribution map. Among them, Ks is defined as the average number of synonymous substitutions at each synonymous site, and there is also a Ka corresponding to it, which refers to the average number of non-synonymous substitutions at each non-synonymous site.</p><p>At present, some people have posted articles about the analysis process of WGD. I searched for the keyword "wgd pipeline" and found the following:</p><p><strong>GenoDup: https:// github.com/MaoYafei/GenoDup-Pipeline</strong><br /><strong>https://peerj.com/articles/6303/</strong><br /><strong>WGDdetector: https:// github.com/yongzhiyang2 012/WGDdetector</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-019-2670-3</strong><br /><strong>wgd: https:// github.com/arzwa/wgd</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-016-1142-2#Sec1</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x</strong><br /><strong>GeNoGAP https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-016-1142-2</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x</strong><br /><strong>https://github.com/dfguan/purge_dups</strong><br /><strong>https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.24.917997v1</strong></p><p>This article introduces the usage of wgd.</p><p>Wgd cannot be installed directly with bioconda at present, so it is a little troublesome to install, because it depends on a lot of software. wgd depends on the following software</p><p><strong>BLAST</strong><br /><strong>MCL</strong><br /><strong>MUSCLE/MAFFT/PRANK</strong><br /><strong>PAML</strong><br /><strong>PhyML/FastTree</strong><br /><strong>i-ADHoRe</strong></p><p>But the good news is that most of the software it depends on can be installed with bioconda</p><blockquote><p>conda create -n wgd python=3.5 blast mcl muscle mafft prank paml fasttree cmake libpng mpi=1.0=mpich<br />conda activate wgd</p></blockquote><p>Here mpi=1.0=mpich is selected, because i-adhore depends on mpich. If openmpi is installed, an error will appear while loading shared libraries: libmpi_cxx.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</p><p>After that, the installation is much simpler</p><blockquote><p>git clone https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.git<br />cd wgd<br />pip install .<br />pip install git+https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.git<br />For i-ADHoRe, you need to register at http:// bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be /webtools/i-adhore/licensing/Agree to the license to download i-ADHoRe-3.0</p></blockquote><p>Since my miniconda3 installed ~/opt/, the installation path is so~/opt/miniconda3/envs/wgd/</p><blockquote><p>tar -zxvf i-adhore-3.0.01.tar.gz<br />cd i-adhore-3.0.01<br />mkdir -p build &amp;&amp; cd build<br />cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/opt/miniconda3/envs/wgd/<br />make -j 4 <br />make insatall</p></blockquote><p>Take the sugarcane genome Saccharum spontaneum L as an example. The genome is 8-ploid with 32 chromosomes (2n = 4x8 = 32)</p><p><strong>Download the tutorial for CDS and GFF annotation files</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>mkdir -p wgd_tutorial &amp;&amp; cd wgd_tutorial</strong><br /><strong>wget http://www.life.illinois.edu/ming/downloads/Spontaneum_genome/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.gz</strong><br /><strong>wget http://www.life.illinois.edu/ming/downloads/Spontaneum_genome/Sspon.v20190103.gff3.gz</strong><br /><strong>gunzip *.gz</strong></p></blockquote><p>First conda activate wgdstart our analysis environment, and then start the analysis</p><p>Step 1 : Use to wgd mclidentify homologous genes in the genome</p><blockquote><p>wgd mcl -n 20 --cds --mcl -s Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta -o Sspon_cds.out</p></blockquote><p>Step 2 : Use to wgd ksdbuild Ks distribution</p><blockquote><p>wgd ksd --n_threads 80 Sspon_cds.out/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.blast.tsv.mcl Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta</p></blockquote><p>Step 3 : If the quality of the genome is good, then wgd syncollinearity analysis can be used . It can help us find the collinearity block in the genome and the corresponding anchor point</p><blockquote><p>wgd syn --feature gene --gene_attribute ID \<br /> -ks wgd_ksd/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.ks.tsv \<br /> Sspon.v20190103.gff3 Sspon_cds.out/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.blast.tsv.mcl</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;For more reading - There are 9 sub-modules in WGD</p><ul>
