Hi everyone,
At the Assemblathon II competition there was an assembler reported as one which ranked higher about 10 times. It's called Meraculous but the authors failed to provide their program instructions to the Assemblathon paper (others did which helps getting the assembler working for the first time).
In reading the Manual from Meraculous they say:
We expect the user to convert data as needed into the following format, where line matches the following perl regex:
\d+:\d+:\d+:\d+:\d+\/[12]:\S+:\S+
I guess they refer to the header of each read in the fastq file?
I don't understand why they need to make it so complicated and there seem to be no support page or google group.
Has someone used this tool? Can someone give me a quick hint to modify the header of my reads:
@HWI-M00991:47:000000000-A5JA9:1:1101:10000:10212 1:N:0:CTTGTA
Thank you in advance
