Phred

To load this software in a Linux environment run the command:

module load phred phrap consed

Create two directories named chromat_dir and phd_dir and copy your sequence chromatogram files into chromat_dir. Create vector.seq file with your vector DNA sequence data in fasta format. Then you can execute these programs directly from the command line. eg

phred -id chromat_dir -pd phd_dir

phd2fasta -id phd_dir -os seqs_fasta -oq seqs_fasta.screen.qual

cross_match seqs_fasta vector.seq -minmatch 12 -minscore 20 -screen > screen.out

phrap seqs_fasta.screen -new_ace > phrap.out

Or, use these scripts like phredPhrap directly at edit_dir subdirectory.
