Parallel computation

Nowadays, it is common to work with large amounts of data. Hence, whenever possible, we parallelized our pipelines to save computer time and reduce software memory requirements.
The REPET package works with a jobs scheduler like  Slurm (slurm.schedmd.com),SGE (Sun Grid Engine)and TORQUE (formerly OpenPBS), three free batch-queuing systems.
In this aim, we developed a specific Python module managing these tasks: launching the jobs in parallel, tracking the errors and re-launching each job in error up to two times. Errors can be due to power break, no more disk space...
All the jobs details are stored in a mysql database's table named "jobs". For this, if you use REPET on a computer cluster the Python package "MySQLdb" has to be reachable from the master AND slave nodes.
Beside "squeue" (from slurm)"qstat" or (from SGE and TORQUE), you can use directly the "jobs" table.
Here are the kind of SQL commands you may need:
mysql> DESCRIBE jobs;
mysql> SELECT DISTINCT groupid FROM jobs;
mysql> SELECT status, count(*) FROM jobs WHERE groupid="exRepet_Blaster_Piler_Map" GROUP BY status;
mysql> UPDATE jobs SET status="error" WHERE groupid="exRepet_Blaster_Piler_Map" AND status="waiting";
mysql> DELETE FROM jobs WHERE groupid="exRepet_Blaster_Piler_Map";

Documentation

All documentation is in "doc/" directory of REPET instance.
The files "TEdenovo_tuto.txt" and "TEannot_tuto.txt" are short tutorials on respectively TEdenovo and TEannot pipeline.
The file "BLASTERsuite_doc.txt" gives more details about the programs BLASTER, MATCHER and GROUPER.
Post-treatment tools we advise to use are described in "README_*" files.
Other tools descriptions can be found in "HelpFrom*.txt" files.
All REPET pipelines outputs are listed in REPET_OutPutsPipelines.xlsx
