Masurca

module avail masurca/

Masurca is a genome assembly and analysis toolkit. It contains MaSuRCA genome assembler, QuORUM error corrector for Illumina data, POLCA genome polishing software, Chromosome scaffolder, jellyfish mer counter, and MUMmer aligner.

Usage

Masurca launches helper processes that use additional CPUs. So the total CPU usage is higher than is defined by the NUM_THREADS parameter in the configuration file. Therefore, to prevent the termination of calculation by the scheduling system due to exceeding the number of reserved CPUs, reserve 3 extra CPUs.

-l select=1:ncpus=X+3
NUM_THREADS=X
