Description

pilon website  

Pilon is a software tool which can be used to:

  • Automatically improve draft assemblies
  • Find variation among strains, including large event detection

Environment Modules

Run module spider pilon to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

  • HPC_PILON_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_PILON_BIN - executable directory
  • HPC_PILON_DOC - documentation directory

Additional Information

Basic usage:

$ module load pilon/1.24

$ pilon --genome genome.fasta [--frags frags.bam] [--jumps jumps.bam] [--unpaired unpaired.bam [...other options...]


For additional usage information, use the following:

$ pilon --help


If you need additional java heap memory, you can use the command:

$ java -Xmx60G -jar /apps/pilon/1.24/share/pilon-1.24-0/pilon.jar --genome genome.fasta [--frags frags.bam] [--jumps jumps.bam] [--unpaired unpaired.bam [...other options...]
