QSRA[1] stands for Quality Value Guided Short Read Assembler.
QSRA, as the name implies, is a quality value guided de novo short read DNA assembler. It builds upon the VCAKE algorithm and assembles faster than VCAKE.[1]
Get the source files and compile QSRA:
cd /campusdata/BME235/programs wget http://qsra.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/files/QSRA.tar.gz tar xfz QSRA.tar.gz mv QSRA.tar.gz QSRA/ cd QSRA make
Copy the compiled binary to the /campusdata/BME235/bin directory:
cp qsra /campusdata/BME235/bin/
