spades VS trinityrnaseq

If you do DNA sequencing and receive the sequencing files as fastq files (normal from sequencing) then spades to assemble the genome, then put it through PROKKA to annotate it. Here's a beginners guide, the most difficult part is downloading the programs onto your laptop.

MetaSpades has a cool option to hybrid reform contigs using short and long reads so you could pair short read data and long read data (PacBio/ONT) to get the best hybrid assembly with high throughput and long reference reads for resolving the reassembling. https://github.com/ablab/spades

The screen shot suggests you are not able to actually compile/install trinity. The cmake command is not used to run it. After you download and unpack the trinity software package: https://github.com/trinityrnaseq/trinityrnaseq/releases/download/Trinity-v2.13.2/trinityrnaseq-v2.13.2.FULL.tar.gz, you should look at the INSTALL file, which tells you to:

I'm trying commands from the Docker site and the trinity site. When I try to run the command, it behaves like the code is incomplete (hitting enter just gives me a new line). To my understanding, the issue can be either in the pathway/to/files part of the code, of in the trinityrnaseq/trinityrnaseq part.

For my analysis I am trying to do variant calling on my transcriptome. I am following the Trinity github pipeline for variant calling, in which they provided a python script for GATK for the variant calling. I use SLURM to run this job for me:

Since you're an R user, I would recommend Bioconductor. Here's an excellent tutorial on how to analyze RNA-seq data (make sure that you're R version is up to date!): https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/workflows/vignettes/rnaseqGene/inst/doc/rnaseqGene.html . However, if you want to assemble raw transcriptome data, then Trinity is a great tool (https://github.com/trinityrnaseq/trinityrnaseq/wiki).
