How to execute one command on all files within a directory

How to execute one command on all files within a directory 0 Hi, I have several .fastq (R1 and R2) files in a directory. For example files: 9-Lmm05-P1413070_S9_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz, 9-Lm05-P1413070_S9_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz. I want to run the following command for the all fastq files in the directory and generate separate output directories for…

Suggestions for Alternate Assembly Resources to Trinity

Suggestions for Alternate Assembly Resources to Trinity 0 As far as I can tell, Galaxy no longer seems to support Trinity as an assembler – or at least, I have not been able to assemble any read data using Trinity for the past several months. Initially, I had had success…

Assembly with repetitive regions

Assembly with repetitive regions 0 Hello all! I am assembling a synthetic genome sequenced with Oxford Nanopore. The problem is that I obtain a very repetitive assembly with all the contigs such as ATATATATATATATATAT. I do not understand why because I have repeated the process with the Acinetobacter pittii genome,…
