Overview
Project title
Setting up a portable metagenome assembly pipeline for CBIO
People involved
Principal investigator : Prof Nicola Mulder
Bioinformatics support team: Katie Lennard, Gerrit Botha
Short description of project
The plan is to setup a metagenome assembly pipeline pipeline. Taking raw metagenome sequence data, QC, assemble metagenomes, detect environmental composition, diversity and function.
Objectives
To setup metagenome assembly pipeline on UCT Hex, but keeping in mind that we want to have it portable to other platforms e.g. CHPC, CBIO, Wits, VMs/local machine. We can combine knowledge from courses we attended (Wits Course - Stanford, Ulas - Berkeley, Eric - Tromso). Katie has also started looking into setting this at the end of 2017 so maybe we can start from what she already has.
