Just the licence server was installed and not the actual genomics workbench, so I couldn't do real testing yet. I am now downloading 6-5-1 64bit. I'll keep you noticed.

Interestingly yours is newer then ours, perhaps we need an update... What about the clc_mapper and clc_cas_to_sam binaries which are used in my clc_mapper.xml wrapper? Are they there under different names too? [I have no idea if the CLCbio workbench licence is intended to allow you to run the clc_assembler at the command line as well - you may need to double check that to be safe.] Regards, Peter -- $ /mnt/apps/clcBio/clc-assembly-cell-4.1.0-linux_64/clc_assembler No read files usage: clc_assembler [options] Assemble some reads and output contig sequences in fasta format. Options: -h / --help: Display this message -q / --reads: The files following this option are read files. Fasta, fastq, and sff formats are allowed. (may be used several times) -i <file1> <file2> / --interleave <file1> <file2>: Interleave the sequences in two files, alternating between the files when reading the sequences. Only valid for read files. (may be used several times) -o <file> / --output <file>: Give the output fasta file (required) -f <file> / --feature_output <file>: Output scaffolding annotation in GFF (default) or AGP format. The file suffix is used to determine the output format. Use '.gff' for GFF format and '.agp' for AGP format. -m <n> / --min-length <n>: Set the minimum contig length to output (default = 200) -w <n> / --wordsize <n>: Set the word size for the de Bruijn graph (default is automatic based on input data size) -b <n> / --bubblesize <n>: Set the maximum bubble size for the de Bruijn graph (default is 50) --cpus <n>: Set the number of cpus to use. -v / --verbose: Output various information while running. -p <par> / --paired <par>: Set the paired read mode for the read files following this option. (may be used several times) par consists of four strings: <mode> [<dist_mode>] [<min_dist> <max_dist>] mode is ff, fb, bf, bb and sets the relative orientation of read one and two in a pair (f = forward, b = backward) dist_mode is ss, se, es, ee and sets the place on read one and two to measure the distance (s = start, e = end). A typical use would be "-p fb ss 180 250" which means that the reads are inverted and pointing towards each other. The distance includes both the reads and the sequence between them. The distance may be between 180 and 250, both included. It is also allowed to insert a "d" before the mode. This indicates that the reads in the following file(s) should only be used for their paired end information and not to build initial contigs. E.g. "-p d fb ss 180 250". To explicitly say that the following reads are not paired, use "no" for par, i.e. "-p no". For paired end reads split in two files, use the -i option. -e <file> / --estimatedistances <file> Estimate paired distances for all paired reads and save the distance estimates in <file>. If it is not possible to get an accurate distance estimate for a file, the original paired distance is used. -g <mode> / --fragmentmode <mode>: Set the mode for how reads are used to create fragments. One mode is "ignore", which ignores the nucleotides when building initial fragments. The other mode is "use", which uses the nucleotides when building initial fragments. This is the default mode. The mode applies to all read files following this option. The option may be used repeatedly. -n / --no-scaffolding: Pair info is used for contig creation, but no scaffolding is performed. Examples: Assembly of a single file with reads: clc_assembler -o contigs.fasta -q reads.fasta Assembly of two interleaved files with paired end reads: clc_assembler -o contigs.fasta -p fb ss 180 250 -q -i reads1.fq reads2.fq Version: 4.10.86742
