If you did the assembly course, all of this will feel familiar: one environment per tool, - [Capstone](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/module-11-capstone/) - What this module is A second phage genome, and no instructions. Every earlier module told you which tool to run and which flag to pass. This one tells you the question and leaves the route to you. That gap is the point: a method you can only follow is not a method you have learned. - [Assembling the genome](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/assembling-the-genome/) - What you are about to run One command, a few minutes of waiting, and a FASTA file at the end. The thinking is all in reading what comes out.

Now what?](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/module-10-your-phage-is-new-now-what/) - What this module does Deals with the outcome the tutorials stop short of. You have run everything, nothing fits cleanly, and the word "novel" is sitting there waiting to be used. Two halves. First, deciding whether your phage is actually new, because the commonest reason a phage looks novel is a thin comparison set. Second, - [Intergenomic similarity, and what genus and species mean](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/module-4-intergenomic-similarity-and-what-genus-and-species-mean/) - What this module does Produces the first number in this course you can actually report.

A folder of relative genomes, ready - [Before you start](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/module-0-before-you-start/) - What you will have at the end A phage genome with a defensible answer to the question "what is this". Specifically: A genus and species assignment, or a clear statement that neither exists yet. Intergenomic similarity values against its nearest described relatives, calculated the way the ICTV calculates them. Its position in a gene-sharing network - [Setting up your tools](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/setting-up-your-tools/) - What this module does By the end, you will have six small, separate software environments and about 10 GB of reference databases on disk, and a checklist that proves every one of them works. Most of the hour is waiting for downloads. Start it, then go and do something else. Do it days before you - [Getting real reads and checking them](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/getting-real-reads-and-checking-them/) - Where published reads live Almost every sequencing run behind a published phage genome is public. Two archives hold them, and they mirror each other, so a run deposited in one appears in the other within a day or two: SRA, the Sequence Read Archive, at NCBI in the United States. ENA, the European Nucleotide Archive, - [What is the terminal?](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/what-is-the-terminal-2/) - This trainin - [Setting up your terminal](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/what-is-the-terminal/) - Before anything else You are about to spend around five and a half hours typing commands into a black window. Two things are worth saying before you start. You will not break your computer. Everything in this course happens inside a single practice folder that you are about to create. You will never be asked - [Checkpoint 2: Modules 4 to 6](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/checkpoint-2-modules-4-to-6/) - [Joining commands together](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/joining-commands-together/) - The idea this whole course has been building towards Every command you have learned takes some input and produces some output. Until now that output has gone to the screen, or with > into a file. The vertical bar | - the pipe - sends it somewhere else: straight into the next command, as that - [Finding things](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/finding-things/) - Two different questions "Finding things" covers two jobs that people often confuse, and that need different tools. Which files do I mean?- Answered by wildcards, and by find. Which lines inside them do I want?- answered by grep. This module does wildcards first, because once you understand them, grep becomes far more useful. cd ~/phage-practice - [Checkpoint 1: Modules 1 to 3](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/checkpoint-1-modules-1-to-3/) - [Checkpoint 3: Figures, finishing and judgement](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/checkpoint-3-figures-finishing-and-judgement/) - [Checkpoint 2: Annotation](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/checkpoint-2-annotation/) - [Drawing the genome](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/drawing-the-genome/) - Why draw it at all A table of 74 genes tells a reader nothing at a glance. The same 74 genes drawn around a circle, coloured by what they do, show in one second that the structural genes sit together, that lysis genes are next to them, and that a third of the genome is - [Checkpoint 1: Reads, assembly and checking it](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/checkpoint-1-reads-assembly-and-checking-it/) - [Is this really a phage genome?](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/is-this-really-a-phage-genome/) - The module people skip You have a sequence of about the right length. That is not the same as having a phage genome, and annotating something before checking it is how wrong genomes get published. Three questions, and a tool for each: Is it supported by the data? Put the reads back on it and - [What genome assembly actually means](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/what-genome-assembly-actually-means/) - Nothing to type in this module No commands here. This is the half hour that decides whether the rest of the course is something you understand or something you copy and paste. Everyone can run an assembler. The difference between people who get usable phage genomes and people who publish wrong ones is entirely in - [Before you start](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/before-you-start/) - What you will have at the end You will take a set of sequencing reads that somebody published, turn them into a finished phage genome, work out what its genes do, and draw a map of it that you could put in a report or a paper. Every step uses the same tools that phage - [Annotation by protein structure](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/annotation-by-protein-structure-2/) - The problem this module solves Module 6 left you with a genome where most genes say "hypothetical protein". That is not because the analysis was poor. It is because phage proteins evolve fast, and two proteins doing exactly the same job in two phages can have sequences with no detectable similarity at all. Sequence comparison - [Annotating the genome](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/annotating-the-genome/) - Two different jobs called by one name Annotation is two things, and confusing them causes most of the misunderstandings in this field: Structural annotation - where the genes are. Which stretches of DNA are protein-coding, where each one starts and stops, and which strand it is on. This is largely a solved problem. Functional annotation - [Tidying up and keeping your work](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/tidying-up-and-keeping-your-work/) - The module nobody photographs You have a genome, an annotation and a figure. What you do not yet have is something another person can use, or something you will still understand next year. This module costs half an hour and saves a week. It also covers two things that are genuinely part of the science, - [Annotation by protein structure](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/annotation-by-protein-structure/) - The problem this module solves Module 6 left you with a genome where most genes say "hypothetical protein". That is not because the analysis was poor. It is because phage proteins evolve fast, and two proteins doing exactly the same job in two phages can have sequences with no detectable similarity at all.

How many plates we actually counted versus how many were overgrown, which host strains we used, and anything that went wrong in the assembly. I'll need - [Permission and running things](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/permission-and-running-things/) - The problem this module solves Sooner or later a colleague will send you an analysis script. You will download it, type its name, and get this: bash: ./analyse.sh: Permission denied Nothing is broken and you have done nothing wrong. The file simply has not been marked as something that may be run, and this module - [Making the shell your own](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/making-the-shell-your-own/) - The last teaching module Everything so far has been about using the shell as you found it. This module is about two things that change that: making it fit the way you work, and turning a pipeline you have typed three times into a tool you can run by name. Both are small. Both are - [Reading files without opening them](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/reading-files-without-opening-them/) - Why not just open it? Because often you cannot, and increasingly often you should not. A FASTQ file of raw reads is routinely several gigabytes. Open one in a text editor and you will wait a long time, use all your memory, and then be shown a wall of characters that tells you nothing. Worse, - [Creating, copying and deleting](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/creating-copying-and-deleting/) - From looking to changing Everything you have done so far has been read-only. You have moved around and looked at things, and nothing you typed could have altered a single file. That ends here. This module is where you start creating, copying, renaming and deleting — and where the two commands mentioned in Module 0 - [Navigating the filesystem](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/navigating-the-filesystem/) - The idea everything else rests on A filesystem is a tree. One folder at the very top, folders inside it, folders inside those, all the way down. If you have come from Windows you are used to seeing several trees — a C: drive, a D: drive, a network share. Linux and macOS have exactly - [Step 1 — Introduction: what a phage genome actually looks like](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/phage-bioinformatics-101-step-1/) - Before touching a single tool, it is worth knowing what you are looking at. This introduction covers genome size ranges across the major phage families, why circular permutation makes assembly output look wrong when it is right, and the handful of features you should expect to find in almost any tailed phage.Watch the video, then - [Step 2 — Protocols: assembly and quality control, end to end](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/phage-bioinformatics-101-step-2/) - This is the written protocol you will come back to. Work through it with your own data if you have it, or with the sample reads linked at the bottom.1. Assess read qualityRun FastQC before anything else. For a phage run you are looking for even coverage and an absence of adapter carry-through. Phage libraries - [Step 3 — Advanced analysis: annotation, lysogeny and therapy suitability](https://www.thephage.xyz/lesson/phage-bioinformatics-101-step-3/) - The final step is where bioinformatics turns into a decision.
