Description

The goal of this tutorial is to: 

- Work with the contigs we generated in the Assembly tutorial (or your own contigs). The material for the assembly tutorial will be uploaded a bit later
- Do the read mapping and generate coverage files
- Adjust the coverage files for the different binning tools
- Bin with Metabat, Maxbin, Concoct, BinSanity
- Combine bins from different the binning tools by using DasTool
- Get the genome stats
- Get a first overview of the taxonomic assignment
- Create summary documents for the contigs and bins

For this tutorial we work with assemblies (and the raw reads) from 3 metagenomes. The reason to include more than one metagenome is that most binning tools take into account sequence information as well as coverage information, which make use of having data from several metagenomes (i.e. depth profiles in our case).

Here, we provide the raw reads, assembly and mapping data. The code itself (and any updates to the code) can be found under the docs at my github page: https://ndombrowski.github.io/Binning_tutorial/

In version 2 we additionally provide the folder Example_Data.tar.gz, which includes an example of all relevant files generated during this workflow.
