############################################################################## ### Ribomatic v. 0.1 ### ### Copyright 2011 Geraldine A. Van der Auwera ### ############################################################################## This project consists of a library of packages and a main script that can be run as a pipeline. The pipeline script is designed to take a set of Illumina sequence reads (forward and reverse) of bacterial 16S rDNA sequences amplified by PCR, process them (trim, QC and merge) and then identify OTUs against a reference ribosomal database. The primary application is to assess the diversity of bacterial populations in environmental samples. As of 20 Oct 2011 the pipeline is fully functional. It will need a few more tweaks to be completely user-friendly, but it works.
