• data = mock data for the snakefile to use
• Snakefile = name of the snakemake “formula” file
  • Note: The default file that snakemake looks for in the current working directory is the Snakefile. If you would like to override that you can specify it following the -s
    • snakemake -s snakefile.py
• envs = directory for storing the conda environments that the workflow will use.
• scripts = directory for storing python scripts called by the snakemake formula.
• config.json = json format file with extra parameters for our snakemake file to use.
• cluster.json = json format file with specification for running on the HPC
• samples.txt = file we will use later relating to the config.json file.

Run the snakemake file as a dry run (the example workflow shown above).

• This will build a DAG of the jobs to be run without actually executing them.
• snakemake --dry-run

User can execute rules of interest.

• snakemake --dry-run all VS. snakemake --dry-run call VS. snakemake --dry-run bwa

Run the snakemake file in order to produce an image of the DAG of jobs to be run.

• snakemake --dag | dot -Tsvg > dag.svg OR snakemake --dag | dot -Tsvg > dag.svg

Run the snakemake (this time not as a dry run)

1. snakemake --use-conda

BlobToolKit is comprised of four components:

1. BlobToolKit Viewer allows browser-based interactive visualisation and filtering of preliminary or published genomic datasets even for highly fragmented assemblies.
2. BlobTools2 is a command-line program to convert assemblies and analysis results into datasets that can be further processed using BlobTools2 and/or visualised in the Viewer.
3. The BlobToolKit Specification features a formal schema and validator for the JSON-based BlobDir format used by BlobTools2 and the Viewer.
4. The BlobToolKit Pipeline is a configurable Snakemake pipeline that automates all steps from retrieving public datasets through running analyses and generating a BlobDir dataset with BlobTools2, ready for visualisation in the Viewer.

It is enormous, billions of letters long. Some of those letters are easy to understand because they contain instructions for building proteins, the tiny machines that keep our cells alive.

But what if some of the most important instructions aren't in those obvious chapters?

Scientists have long suspected that the mysterious stretches of DNA between protein-coding genes may contain some of life's most interesting secrets. These regions can act like switches, telling genes when, where, and how strongly to turn on. Among them are conserved non-coding elements, or CNEs DNA sequences that have remained remarkably similar across different species.

Think of a CNE as a sentence that nature has copied into several editions of the same book.

A mouse has it.

A bird has it.

A human has it.

And despite millions of years of evolution, much of the sentence remains almost unchanged.

That conservation is a clue: this piece of DNA probably matters.

But there was a problem. Finding these hidden sentences across enormous genomes is difficult. Researchers needed to compare many genomes, identify conserved regions, and then determine which of those regions might have evolved unusually quickly in particular branches of the evolutionary tree.

Enter CNEwrap. https://github.com/YanCCscu/CNEwrap

The researchers developed CNEwrap as a streamlined toolkit capable of handling large-scale genome comparisons, conserved-element detection, and evolutionary analysis. Inside it is a new algorithm called EvoAcc, designed to identify CNEs that show accelerated evolution in specific species or lineages.

Why does that matter?

Because evolution isn't just about what stays the same.

Sometimes, the most interesting story is hidden in what changed.

Imagine that nearly every species carries the same regulatory sentence, but one lineage suddenly has several unusual edits. Perhaps those changes helped shape a new body structure, a different adaptation, or another distinctive trait.

EvoAcc is designed to help researchers find these evolutionary clues. In the study's tests, it performed particularly well in scenarios involving two or three accelerated lineages and showed improved sensitivity to insertion and deletion mutations compared with several existing approaches.

The researchers also tested CNEwrap using functional genomic regions from mammals and found that EvoAcc could recover human-specific accelerated regions while identifying some signals that other methods missed.

So the story of CNEwrap is really a story about looking beyond the obvious.

For decades, scientists have often focused on the DNA that directly encodes proteins. But the genome is more like a vast library: the protein-coding genes are the main text, while non-coding regions may contain punctuation, instructions, switches, annotations, and editing notes that tell the cell how to read the book.

CNEwrap gives researchers a new way to search that hidden material.

And perhaps somewhere inside those billions of DNA letters is an evolutionary story we haven't read yet.

The exciting part is that we now have better tools to find it.
