	<description><![CDATA[<p>By using&nbsp;<code>plenv</code>, you can easily install and switch among different version of Perl. This will be installed under your home directory in<code>~/.plenv</code>.</p><h4>Install latest Perl (with supporting multithreading) and CPANMinus.</h4><pre><code> $ cd
 $ git clone git://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv.git ~/.plenv
 $ git clone git://github.com/tokuhirom/Perl-Build.git ~/.plenv/plugins/perl-build/
 $ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.plenv/bin:$PATH"' &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
 $ echo 'eval "$(plenv init -)"' &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
 $ source ~/.bashrc
 $ plenv install 5.18.1 -Dusethreads
 $ plenv rehash
 $ plenv global 5.18.1
 $ plenv install-cpanm
</code></pre><ul>
<li><code>git</code>&nbsp;is a distributed revision control and source code management software which can help you to download files from GitHub server.</li>
<li><code>echo</code>&nbsp;means "print".</li>
<li><code>&gt;&gt;</code>&nbsp;means adding the output into the end of the file, while&nbsp;<code>&gt;</code>&nbsp;means adding the output by overwriting the whole file. Please use<code>&gt;</code>&nbsp;with additional cares.</li>
<li>In Linux system, there are two types of outputs when you execute a command. One is called standard output (or sometimes STDOUT for short), and the other is a standard error (STDERR).&nbsp;<code>1&gt;</code>&nbsp;is for STDOUT only,&nbsp;<code>2&gt;</code>&nbsp;is for STDERR only, and&nbsp;<code>&amp;&gt;</code>means for both. In default&nbsp;<code>&gt;</code>&nbsp;is the same to&nbsp;<code>1&gt;</code>.</li>
<li><code>exec</code>&nbsp;is execution.</li>
<li>Remember to install Perl in supporting multithreading (with option&nbsp;<code>-Dusethreads</code>), which is important for many NGS analysis packages (e.g. Trinity). In this setting, you can use multiple CPU for Perl software.</li>
<li>Install the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) manager software, CPANMinus, by&nbsp;<code>install-cpanm</code>.</li>
</ul><p>You can use&nbsp;<code>plenv global</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>plenv local</code>&nbsp;to change the different version of Perl to fulfil different needs of your Perl software.</p><p>For example, if the&nbsp;specific version of Perl is not compatible with your script, you can switch to the different version by:</p><pre><code> $ plenv local 
</code></pre><ul>
<li>It is similar to set the local version of your script language when you use&nbsp;<code>pyenv</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>rbenv</code>&nbsp;as the following.</li>
</ul><p>Put the following path into&nbsp;<code>~/.bashrc file</code>.</p><pre><code>export PERL5LIB="$HOME/.plenv/build/perl-5.18.1/lib"
</code></pre><h4>Install BioPerl and PerlIO::gzip</h4><p>CPANMinus is a very good Perl module manager, use&nbsp;<code>cpanm</code>&nbsp;to install BioPerl can save you a lot of time. Here are some useful modules:</p><pre><code>$ cpanm Bio::Perl
$ cpanm Bio::SearchIO
$ cpanm PerlIO::gzip<br /></code></pre><p><span>For more information, please visit:&nbsp;</span><a href="https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv">https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv</a></p><pre><code>&nbsp;</code></pre>]]></description>

The full article can be found&nbsp;<a href="http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/41/13/e129" title="MITObim full article at NAR">here</a>. Kindly cite the article if you are using MITObim in your work. The pipeline was originally developed for&nbsp;<span>Illumina</span>&nbsp;data, but thanks to the versatility of the MIRA assembler, MITObim supports in principle also data from the&nbsp;<span>Iontorrent</span>,&nbsp;<span>454</span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<span>PacBio</span>&nbsp;sequencing platforms.</p>
<p>Below you can find a few basic tutorials for how to run MITObim and I encorage you to give them a try with the testdata that comes with this Repo, just to make sure everything is running smoothly on your system.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MECAT is an ultra-fast Mapping, Error Correction and de novo Assembly Tools for single molecula sequencing (SMRT) reads. MECAT employs novel alignment and error correction algorithms that are much more efficient than the state of art of aligners and error correction tools. MECAT can be used for effectively de novo assemblying large genomes. For example, on a 32-thread computer with 2.0 GHz CPU , MECAT takes 9.5 days to assemble a human genome based on 54x SMRT data, which is 40 times faster than the current&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>.
