Ray is a parallel de novo genome assembler that utilises the message-passing interface everywhere
and is implemented using peer-to-peer communication.
Ray is implemented using RayPlatform, a message-passing-interface programming framework.
Ray is documented in

You need a C++ compiler (supporting C++ 1998), make, an implementation of MPI (supporting MPI 2.2).
tar xjf Ray-x.y.z.tar.bz2
cd Ray-x.y.z
make PREFIX=build
make install
ls build
tar xjf Ray-x.y.z.tar.bz2
cd Ray-x.y.z
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make PREFIX=build2000 MPICXX=/software/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpicxx
make install
Tested C++ compilers: see Documentation/COMPILERS.txt
Some processors have the popcnt instruction and other cool instructions.
With gcc, add -march=native to build Ray for the processor used for
the compilation.
make PREFIX=Build.native DEBUG=n ASSERT=n EXTRA=" -march=native"
make install
The best way to build Ray is to use whole-program optimization.
With gcc, use this script:
./scripts/Build-Link-Time-Optimization.sh
make PREFIX=Ray-Large-k-mers MAXKMERLENGTH=64
# wait
make install
mpirun -np 512 Ray-Large-k-mers/Ray -k 63 -p lib1_1.fastq lib1_2.fastq \
-p lib2_1.fastq lib2_2.fastq -o DeadlyBug,Assembler=Ray,K=63
# wait
ls DeadlyBug,Assembler=Ray,K=63/Scaffolds.fasta
make PREFIX=build-3000 MAXKMERLENGTH=64 HAVE_LIBZ=y HAVE_LIBBZ2=y \
ASSERT=n FORCE_PACKING=y
# wait
make install
ls build-3000
see the Makefile for more.
To run Ray on paired reads:
mpiexec -n 25 Ray -k31 -p lib1.left.fasta lib1.right.fasta -p lib2.left.fasta lib2.right.fasta -o RayOutput
ls RayOutput/Contigs.fasta
ls RayOutput/Scaffolds.fasta
ls RayOutput/
Ray can be run with a configuration file instead.
mpiexec -n 16 Ray Ray.conf
Content of Ray.conf:
-k 31 # this is a comment
-p
lib1.left.fasta
lib1.right.fasta
-p
lib2.left.fasta
lib2.right.fasta
-o RayOutput
RayOutput/Contigs.fasta and RayOutput/Scaffolds.fasta
type Ray -help for a full list of options and outputs
Ray assembles color-space reads and generate color-space contigs.
Files must have the .csfasta extension. Nucleotide reads can not be mixed
with color-space reads. This is an experimental feature.
