Installation
Quorum requires Jellyfish to compile and to run. There are two ways to install Quorum and its dependencies.
MaSuRCA. Quorum is distributed and used in MaSuRCA. After installation of MaSuRCA, the quorum executable is available in the bin directory.
Manually. First
install Jellyfish. Make sure that
jellyfish is in your path and that pkg-config can find
the jellyfish headers and library. For example:
$ which jellyfish
/usr/local/bin/jellyfish
$ pkg-config --mod-version jellyfish-2.0
2.1.4
Then you can install Quorum with the usual:
./configure
make
make install
Some instructions are found on the github page as well.
Usage example
To use, simply give FASTQ files to the quorum script.quorum file1.fastq file2.fastq
The corrected reads will be written to 'quorum_corrected.fa' (this
can be changed with the -p switch).
