	<description><![CDATA[<p><em>npScarf</em>&nbsp;(jsa.np.npscarf) is a program that scaffolds and completes draft genomes assemblies in real-time with Oxford Nanopore sequencing. The pipeline can run on a computing cluster as well as on a laptop computer for microbial datasets. It also facilitates the real-time analysis of positional information such as gene ordering and the detection of genes from mobile elements (plasmids and genomic islands).</p>

	<title><![CDATA[MIX: Combining multiple assemblies from NGS data]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Mix is a tool that combines two or more draft assemblies, without relying on a reference genome and has the goal to reduce contig fragmentation and thus speed-up genome finishing. The proposed algorithm builds an extension graph where vertices represent extremities of contigs and edges represent existing alignments between these extremities. These alignment edges are used for contig extension. The resulting output assembly corresponds to a path in the extension graph that maximizes the cumulative contig length.</p>
<p>The Mix algorithm, approach and results were published in BMC bioinformatics :&nbsp;<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/14/S15/S16">http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/14/S15/S16</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/cbib/MIX" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cbib/MIX</a></p>]]></description>

<p><span><span>SyRI, a pairwise whole-genome comparison tool for chromosome-level assemblies. SyRI starts by finding rearranged regions and then searches for differences in the sequences, which are distinguished for residing in syntenic or rearranged regions. This distinction is important as rearranged regions are inherited differently compared to syntenic regions.</span></span></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>LiftOver is a necesary step to bring all genetical analysis to the same reference build. LiftOver can have three use cases:</p><p>(1) <a href="https://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/LiftOver#Lift_genome_positions">Convert genome position from one genome assembly to another genome assembly</a></p><p>In most scenarios, we have known genome positions in NCBI build 36 (UCSC hg 18) and hope to lift them over to NCBI build 37 (UCSC hg19).</p><p>(2) <a href="https://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/LiftOver#Lift_dbSNP_rs_numbers">Convert dbSNP rs number from one build to another</a></p><p>(3) <a href="https://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/LiftOver#Lift_Merlin.2FPLINK_format">Convert both genome position and dbSNP rs number over different versions</a></p><p>Run:</p><pre>liftOver input.bed hg18ToHg19.over.chain.gz output.bed unlifted.bed</pre><p>The outformat is as follow:</p><pre>Deleted in new:
    Sequence intersects no chains
Partially deleted in new:
    Sequence insufficiently intersects one chain
Split in new:
    Sequence insufficiently intersects multiple chains
Duplicated in new:
    Sequence sufficiently intersects multiple chains
Boundary problem:
    Missing start or end base in an exon</pre><p>For example:</p><p>If you liftOver <span>chr4:6497-6497 from <span>hg19 to GRch38 </span>and it return "deleted in new". </span></p><p>It means chr4:6497-6497 is part of a genomic contig on hg19 that is not anymore mapped on GRch38 because the new assembly is now better built without including this contig.</p>]]></description>

                                [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>
