	<title><![CDATA[CNIDARIA: fast, reference-free phylogenomic clustering]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Motivation: Identification of biological specimens is a major requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without relying on prior knowledge, but these do not scale to arbitrarily large genomes and arbitrarily large phylogenetic distances.</p>
<p>Results: We present Cnidaria, a practical tool for clustering genomic and transcriptomic data with no limitation on ge-nome size or phylogenetic distances. We successfully simultaneously clustered 169 genomic and transcriptomic datasets from 4 kingdoms, achieving 100% accuracy at supra-species level and 78% accuracy for species level.</p>
<p>Availability and Implementation: Cnidaria is written in C++ and Python and is available at http://www.ab.wur.nl/cnidaria.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[FastANI:  fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI)]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>FastANI is developed for fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI). ANI is defined as mean nucleotide identity of orthologous gene pairs shared between two microbial genomes. FastANI supports pairwise comparison of both complete and draft genome assemblies. Its underlying procedure follows a similar workflow as described by&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17220447">Goris et al. 2007</a><span>. However, it avoids expensive sequence alignments and uses&nbsp;</span><a href="https://github.com/marbl/MashMap">Mashmap</a><span>&nbsp;as its MinHash based sequence mapping engine to compute the orthologous mappings and alignment identity estimates. Based on our experiments with complete and draft genomes, its accuracy is on par with&nbsp;</span><a href="http://enve-omics.ce.gatech.edu/ani/">BLAST-based ANI solver</a><span>&nbsp;and it achieves two to three orders of magnitude speedup. Therefore, it is useful for pairwise ANI computation of large number of genome pairs. More details about its speed, accuracy and potential applications are described here: "</span><a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/225342">High-throughput ANI Analysis of 90K Prokaryotic Genomes Reveals Clear Species Boundaries</a><span>".</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI</a></p>]]></description>

</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>

</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>
