	<description><![CDATA[<p>Awk is a programming language which allows easy manipulation of structured data and is mostly used for pattern scanning and processing. It searches one or more files to see if they contain lines that match with the specified patterns and then perform associated actions. The basic syntax is:</p><blockquote><p><br />awk '/pattern1/ {Actions}<br /> /pattern2/ {Actions}' file</p></blockquote><p><br />The working of Awk is as follows<br />Awk reads the input files one line at a time.<br />For each line, it matches with given pattern in the given order, if matches performs the corresponding action.<br />If no pattern matches, no action will be performed.<br />In the above syntax, either search pattern or action are optional, But not both.<br />If the search pattern is not given, then Awk performs the given actions for each line of the input.<br />If the action is not given, print all that lines that matches with the given patterns which is the default action.<br />Empty braces with out any action does nothing. It wont perform default printing operation.<br />Each statement in Actions should be delimited by semicolon.<br />Say you have data.tsv with the following contents:</p><p><br />$ cat data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT <br />By default Awk prints every line from the file.</p><p><br />$ awk '{print;}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT <br />We print the line which matches the pattern contig3</p><p><br />$ awk '/contig3/' data/test.tsv<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />Awk has number of builtin variables. For each record i.e line, it splits the record delimited by whitespace character by default and stores it in the $n variables. If the line has 5 words, it will be stored in $1, $2, $3, $4 and $5. $0 represents the whole line. NF is a builtin variable which represents the total number of fields in a record.</p><p><br />$ awk '{print $1","$2;}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1,ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2,ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5,ACTTTATATATT</p><p>$ awk '{print $1","$NF;}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1,ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2,ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5,ACTTTATATATT</p><p><br />Awk has two important patterns which are specified by the keyword called BEGIN and END. The syntax is as follows:</p><blockquote><p>BEGIN { Actions before reading the file}<br />{Actions for everyline in the file} <br />END { Actions after reading the file }</p></blockquote><p><br />For example,<br />$ awk 'BEGIN{print "Header,Sequence"}{print $1","$2;}END{print "-------"}' data/test.tsv<br />Header,Sequence<br />contig1,ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2,ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5,ACTTTATATATT<br />------- <br />We can also use the concept of a conditional operator in print statement of the form print CONDITION ? PRINT_IF_TRUE_TEXT : PRINT_IF_FALSE_TEXT. For example, in the code below, we identify sequences with lengths &gt; 14:</p><p>$ awk '{print (length($2)&gt;14) ? $0"&gt;14" : $0"&lt;=14";}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG&gt;14<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT&lt;=14<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA&gt;14<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA&gt;14<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT&lt;=14<br />We can also use 1 after the last block {} to print everything (1 is a shorthand notation for {print $0} which becomes {print} as without any argument print will print $0 by default), and within this block, we can change $0, for example to assign the first field to $0 for third line (NR==3), we can use:</p><p>$ awk 'NR==3{$0=$1}1' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT<br />You can have as many blocks as you want and they will be executed on each line in the order they appear, for example, if we want to print $1 three times (here we are using printf instead of print as the former doesn't put end-of-line character),</p><p>$ awk '{printf $1"\t"}{printf $1"\t"}{print $1}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 contig1 contig1<br />contig2 contig2 contig2<br />contig3 contig3 contig3<br />contig4 contig4 contig4<br />contig5 contig5 contig5 <br />Although, we can also skip executing later blocks for a given line by using next keyword:</p><p>$ awk '{printf $1"\t"}NR==3{print "";next}{print $1}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 contig1<br />contig2 contig2<br />contig3 <br />contig4 contig4<br />contig5 contig5</p><p>$ awk 'NR==3{print "";next}{printf $1"\t"}{print $1}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 contig1<br />contig2 contig2</p><p>contig4 contig4<br />contig5 contig5<br />You can also use getline to load the contents of another file in addition to the one you are reading, for example, in the statement given below, the while loop will load each line from test.tsv into k until no more lines are to be read:</p><p>$ awk 'BEGIN{while((getline k &lt;"data/test.tsv")&gt;0) print "BEGIN:"k}{print}' data/test.tsv<br />BEGIN:contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />BEGIN:contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />BEGIN:contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />BEGIN:contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />BEGIN:contig5 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT <br />You can also store data in the memory with the syntax VARIABLE_NAME[KEY]=VALUE which you can later use through for (INDEX in VARIABLE_NAME) command:</p><p>$ awk '{i[$1]=1}END{for (j in i) print j"&lt;="i[j]}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1&lt;=1<br />contig2&lt;=1<br />contig3&lt;=1<br />contig4&lt;=1<br />contig5&lt;=1</p>]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[Integration Of Speciation Research : Workshop Announcement]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>We are excited to share that the ESEB- funded special topic network Integration Of Speciation Research (IOS - https://speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/) is hosting a second in-person workshop from 7â€“11 December 2026 at the Scottish Centre for Ecology &amp; the Natural Environment (Glasgow, UK - https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/scene/).</p>

<p>This workshop is aimed at bringing together ~40 diverse speciation researchers:</p>

<p>-  to collaborate on populating a database of published reproductive barriers based on a standardized RIO framework (https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/10083/). This will involve working through papers during the workshop to extract RI measures and other metadata and entering them into a draft database (some preparatory work before the workshop may be requested to facilitate these steps during the workshop)</p>

<p>- to start working towards a manuscript using this database to answer an outstanding question in speciation</p>

<p>- to network, learn about reproductive isolation, and have fun!</p>

<p>If you are interested in applying to participate in the workshop, please fill out the form in the link below by ** May 20th **. Room &amp; board will be covered by the organizers; all other travel costs are the responsibility of the attendee.</p>

<p>Application link:</p>

<p>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenAMqSdZjeRmKEDtBNa5tpjPn7IukPyT5BzfZ4JMpIk2YOEw/viewform</p>

<p>The previous IOS workshop was held in Finland in 2023 (see more details at https://speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/workshops) and resulted in new interactions between speciation researchers and the successful publication of an Integration of Speciation research manuscript  (https://academic.oup.com/evolinnean/article/3/1/kzae001/7609448).</p>

<p>We look forward to seeing you in Glasgow!</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Omega found overlaps between reads using a prefix/suffix hash table. The overlap graph of reads was simplified by removing transitive edges and trimming short branches. Unitigs were generated based on minimum cost flow analysis of the overlap graph and then merged to contigs and scaffolds using mate-pair information. In comparison with three de Bruijn graph assemblers (SOAPdenovo, IDBA-UD and MetaVelvet), Omega provided comparable overall performance on a HiSeq 100-bp dataset and superior performance on a MiSeq 300-bp dataset. In comparison with Celera on the MiSeq dataset, Omega provided more continuous assemblies overall using a fraction of the computing time of existing overlap-layout-consensus assemblers. This indicates Omega can more efficiently assemble longer Illumina reads, and at deeper coverage, for metagenomic datasets.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://omega.omicsbio.org/" rel="nofollow">http://omega.omicsbio.org/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[miniasm: very fast OLC-based de novo assembler for noisy long reads]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Miniasm is a very fast OLC-based&nbsp;<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/pmelsted/GFA-spec/blob/master/GFA-spec.md">GFA</a>&nbsp;format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Celera_Assembler_Terminology">unitig</a>&nbsp;sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.</p>
<p>So far miniasm is in early development stage. It has only been tested on a dozen of PacBio and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) bacterial data sets. Including the mapping step, it takes about 3 minutes to assemble a bacterial genome. Under the default setting, miniasm assembles 9 out of 12 PacBio datasets and 3 out of 4 ONT datasets into a single contig. The 12 PacBio data sets are&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/E.-coli-Bacterial-Assembly">PacBio E. coli sample</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS473430">ERS473430</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS544009">ERS544009</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS554120">ERS554120</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS605484">ERS605484</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS617393">ERS617393</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS646601">ERS646601</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS659581">ERS659581</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS670327">ERS670327</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS685285">ERS685285</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS743109">ERS743109</a>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/E.-coli-20kb-Size-Selected-Library-with-P6-C4/ce0533c1d2a957488594f0b29da61ffa3e4627e8">deprecated PacBio E. coli data set</a>. ONT data are acquired from the&nbsp;<a href="http://lab.loman.net/2015/09/24/first-sqk-map-006-experiment/">Loman Lab</a>.</p>
<p>For a&nbsp;<em>C. elegans</em>&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/DevNet/wiki/C.-elegans-data-set">PacBio data set</a>&nbsp;(only 40X are used, not the whole dataset), miniasm finishes the assembly, including reads overlapping, in ~10 minutes with 16 CPUs. The total assembly size is 105Mb; the N50 is 1.94Mb. In comparison, the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/HGAP">HGAP3</a>produces a 104Mb assembly with N50 1.61Mb.&nbsp;<a href="http://lh3lh3.users.sourceforge.net/download/ce-miniasm.png">This dotter plot</a>&nbsp;gives a global view of the miniasm assembly (on the X axis) and the HGAP3 assembly (on Y). They are broadly comparable. Of course, the HGAP3 consensus sequences are much more accurate. In addition, on the whole data set (assembled in ~30 min), the miniasm N50 is reduced to 1.79Mb. Miniasm still needs improvements.</p>
<p>Miniasm confirms that at least for high-coverage bacterial genomes, it is possible to generate long contigs from raw PacBio or ONT reads without error correction. It also shows that&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>&nbsp;can be used as a read overlapper, even though it is probably not as sensitive as the more sophisticated overlapers such as&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/marbl/MHAP">MHAP</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/thegenemyers/DALIGNER">DALIGNER</a>. Coupled with long-read error correctors and consensus tools, miniasm may also be useful to produce high-quality assemblies.</p>
<p>Minimap and miniasm are ultrafast tools for (i) mapping and (ii) assembly. Designed for long, noisy reads, they do not have a correction or consensus step, and therefore the resulting assemblies are contiguous (i.e. long) but very noisy (i.e. full of errors)</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It does not compute the alignments explicitly, but rather estimates a&nbsp;</span><em>k</em><span>-mer based&nbsp;</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index">Jaccard similarity</a><span>&nbsp;using a combination of&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr05/cos598E/bib/p76-schleimer.pdf">Winnowing</a><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinHash">MinHash</a><span>. This is then converted to an estimate of sequence identity using the&nbsp;</span><a href="http://mash.readthedocs.org/">Mash</a><span>&nbsp;distance. An appropriate&nbsp;</span><em>k</em><span>-mer sampling rate is automatically determined given minimum local alignment length and identity thresholds. The efficiency of the algorithm improves as both of these thresholds are increased.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/marbl/MashMap" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/marbl/MashMap</a></p>]]></description>
