RagTag简介
RagTag可以进行错误组装校正、scaffold组装和修补、scaffold合并等，一共分四步：correct，scaffold，patch，merge。之后，可以用Liftoff进行基因注释。
RagTag的conda安装
conda install -c bioconda ragtag1. correct
校正是使用参考基因组来鉴定和校正contigs中的组装错误，该步骤不会将序列减少或增加，仅仅是将序列在错误组装的位置进行打断。
ragtag.py correct relatives-reference.fa scaffolds_FINAL.fasta -t 80结果输出在文件夹./ragtag_output/中。
所有参数：
usage: ragtag.py correct <reference.fa> <query.fa>Homology-based misassembly correction: Correct sequences in 'query.fa' by comparing them to sequences in 'reference.fa'>positional arguments:<reference.fa> reference fasta file (uncompressed or bgzipped)<query.fa> query fasta file (uncompressed or bgzipped)optional arguments:-h, --help show this help message and exitcorrection options:-f INT minimum unique alignment length [1000]--remove-small remove unique alignments shorter than -f-q INT minimum mapq (NA for Nucmer alignments) [10]-d INT maximum alignment merge distance [100000]-b INT minimum break distance from contig ends [5000]-e <exclude.txt> list of reference headers to ignore [null]-j <skip.txt> list of query headers to leave uncorrected [null]--inter only break misassemblies between reference sequences--intra only break misassemblies within reference sequences--gff <features.gff> don't break sequences within gff intervals [null]input/output options:-o PATH output directory [./ragtag_output]-w overwrite intermediate files-u add suffix to unaltered sequence headersmapping options:-t INT number of minimap2/unimap threads [1]--aligner PATH whole genome aligner executable ('nucmer', 'unimap' or 'minimap2') [minimap2]--mm2-params STR space delimited minimap2 whole genome alignment parameters (overrides '-t') ['-x asm5']--unimap-params STR space delimited unimap parameters (overrides '-t') ['-x asm5']--nucmer-params STR space delimted nucmer whole genome alignment parameters ['--maxmatch -l 100 -c 500']validation options:--read-aligner PATH read aligner executable (only 'minimap2' is allowed) [minimap2]-R <reads.fasta> validation reads (uncompressed or gzipped) [null]-F <reads.fofn> same as '-R', but a list of files [null]-T STR read type.

该步骤是将相邻的contigs序列用100个N连起来，序列的位置和方向需要根据与参考基因组的比对结果确定。
ragtag.py scaffold relatives-reference.fa ragtag_output/ragtag.correct.fasta -t 80 -C ## -C会将没地方放的contig/scaffold连在一起放到chr0中（中间用100个N连接）
最后得到的重要的结果：
ragtag.scaffold.fasta
ragtag.scaffold.agp
插播：
如果除了chr0还有一些碎的contig没放进去，可以用下面的python脚本处理：
#!/public/home/zhangchaofan/anaconda3/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
##python 02.add_seq.py -s mapped.filter.list.fasta -g test.apg -o test.fa

contig.list.fasta ##剩下还有的contig的fasta序列文件
运行后contig.list.fasta中的序列会从大到小接在chr0后面，中间用100个N连接，最后生成新的fasta文件和agp文件。

该步骤是用contigs序列对上一步得到的scaffold序列进行gap填补。该步骤比较耗时，如果急需使用基因组进行后续分析，可以省略该步骤。
ragtag.py patch ./ragtag_output/ragtag.scaffold.fasta scaffolds_FINAL.fasta -t 80以上均已亲测。
4. merge
在scaffolding过程中，可能会根据不同参数或图谱数据产生多个版本的基因组组装结果，该步骤可以将多个结果根据权重进行最终组装结果的生成。
如果有HiC数据，还可以加入HiC数据生成比较好的组装结果。
