Description

canu website  

Canu is a fork of the Celera Assembler designed for high-noise single-molecule sequencing (such as the PacBio RSII or Oxford Nanopore MinION).

Required Modules

Serial

  • canu
  • gcc/5.2.0

System Variables

  • HPC_{{#uppercase:canu}}_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_{{#uppercase:canu}}_BIN - executable directory
  • HPC_{{#uppercase:canu}}_DOC - documentation directory


Additional Information

When running Canu you should specify Memory and CPU usage in your command. e.g.

#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=8 
#SBATCH --mem=10g
-maxThreads=8
-maxMemory=10g
