&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FRCurve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Feature-Response Curve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by the standard receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Feature-Response curve (FRC) characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AMOS package provides an automated assembly validation pipeline called [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Amosvalidate amosvalidate] that analyzes the output of an assembler using a variety of assembly quality metrics (or features). Examples of features include: (M) mate-pair orientations and separations, (K) repeat content by k-mer analysis, (C) depth-of-coverage, (P) correlated polymorphism in the read alignments, and (B) read alignment breakpoints to identify structurally suspicious regions of the assembly. After running amosvalidate on the output of the assembler, each contig is assigned a number of features that&lt;br /&gt;
correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. For this set of contigs, the corresponding approximate genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FRC&amp;#039;s properties:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The FRC can be used as a metric to compare the assembly quality of multiple assemblers.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The FRC does not require any reference sequence (except an estimate of the genome size) to be used for validation, thus making it a very useful tool in de novo sequencing projects. &amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Separate FRCs can be generated for each feature type enabling to scrutinize the relative strengths and weaknesses of different assemblers.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Documentation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the AMOS philosophy, the FRCurve is implemented as a pipeline that consists of two steps: &lt;br /&gt;
* 1. invocation to the amosvalidate tool to compute the features for the set of contigs; &lt;br /&gt;
* 2. invocation to the FRC module, getFRCvalues&lt;br /&gt;
The name of the pipeline in the AMOS distribution is &amp;quot;FRCurve_pipeline&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documentation on how to run FRCurve is obtained by typing:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   FRCurve -h&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usage message is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 Usage:          &lt;br /&gt;
      FRCurve [params] \&lt;br /&gt;
                -D GENOME_SIZE=&amp;lt;n&amp;gt;              - Genome size (number of bps)&lt;br /&gt;
                -D BANK=&amp;lt;n&amp;gt;                     - AMOS bank name&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Description:&lt;br /&gt;
                The Feature-Response curve characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) &lt;br /&gt;
                of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features).&lt;br /&gt;
                Given any set of features compute by the amosvalidate pipeline, the response (quality) &lt;br /&gt;
                of the assembler output is analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible &lt;br /&gt;
                errors (features) allowed in the contigs. &lt;br /&gt;

 Output:&lt;br /&gt;
                The Feature-Response curve (FRC) is saved in file &amp;quot;FRC.txt&amp;quot;, while &lt;br /&gt;
                FRCs for each feature type are saved respectively in: &lt;br /&gt;
                &amp;quot;FRC_coverage.txt&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;FRC_polymorphism.txt&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;FRC_breakpoint.txt&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
                &amp;quot;FRC_kmer.txt&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;FRC_matepair.txt&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;FRC_misassembly.txt&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 Output file format:&lt;br /&gt;
                Each file contains the FRCs in 3-columns format&lt;br /&gt;
                - column 1 = feature threshold T;&lt;br /&gt;
                - column 2 = contigs&amp;#039; N50 associated to the threshold T in column 1;&lt;br /&gt;
                - column 3 = cumulative size of the contigs whose number of features is &amp;lt;= T;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FRCurve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Feature-Response Curve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by the standard receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Feature-Response curve (FRC) characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AMOS package provides an automated assembly validation pipeline called [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Amosvalidate amosvalidate] that analyzes the output of an assembler using a variety of assembly quality metrics (or features). Examples of features include: (M) mate-pair orientations and separations, (K) repeat content by k-mer analysis, (C) depth-of-coverage, (P) correlated polymorphism in the read alignments, and (B) read alignment breakpoints to identify structurally suspicious regions of the assembly. After running amosvalidate on the output of the assembler, each contig is assigned a number of features that&lt;br /&gt;
correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. For this set of contigs, the corresponding approximate genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FRC&amp;#039;s properties:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The FRC can be used as a metric to compare the assembly quality of multiple assemblers.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The FRC does not require any reference sequence (except an estimate of the genome size) to be used for validation, thus making it a very useful tool in de novo sequencing projects. &amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Separate FRCs can be generated for each feature type enabling to scrutinize the relative strengths and weaknesses of different assemblers.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Documentation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the AMOS philosophy, the FRCurve is implemented as a pipeline that consists of two steps: &lt;br /&gt;
* 1. invocation to the amosvalidate tool to compute the features for the set of contigs; &lt;br /&gt;
* 2. invocation to the FRC module&lt;br /&gt;
The name of the pipeline in the AMOS distribution is &amp;quot;FRCurve_pipeline&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documentation on how to run FRCurve is obtained by typing:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   FRCurve_pipeline -h&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usage message is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Feature-Response Curve pipeline&lt;br /&gt;
 Usage:          &lt;br /&gt;
      FRCurve_pipeline [params] \&lt;br /&gt;
                -D GENOME_SIZE=&amp;lt;n&amp;gt;              - Genome size (number of bps)&lt;br /&gt;
                -D BANK=&amp;lt;n&amp;gt;                     - AMOS bank name&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Description:&lt;br /&gt;
                The Feature-Response curve characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) &lt;br /&gt;
                of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features).&lt;br /&gt;
                Given any set of features compute by the amosvalidate pipeline, the response (quality) &lt;br /&gt;
                of the assembler output is analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible &lt;br /&gt;
                errors (features) allowed in the contigs. &lt;br /&gt;

 Output file format:&lt;br /&gt;
                Each file contains the FRCs in 3-columns format&lt;br /&gt;
                - column 1 = feature threshold T;&lt;br /&gt;
                - column 2 = contigs&amp;#039; N50 associated to the threshold T in column 1;&lt;br /&gt;

The AMOS consortium is committed to the development of open-source whole genome assembly software. The project acronym (AMOS) represents our primary goal -- to produce A Modular, Open-Source whole genome assembler. Open-source so that everyone is welcome to contribute and help build outstanding assembly tools, and modular in nature so that new contributions can be easily inserted into an existing assembly pipeline. This modular design will foster the development of new assembly algorithms and allow the AMOS project to continually grow and improve in hopes of eventually becoming a widely accepted and deployed assembly infrastructure. In this sense, AMOS is both a design philosophy and a software system.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FRCurve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Feature-Response Curve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by the standard receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Feature-Response curve characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AMOS package provides an automated assembly validation pipeline called [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Amosvalidate amosvalidate] that analyzes the output of an assembler using a variety of assembly quality metrics (or features). Examples of features include: (M) mate-pair orientations and separations, (K) repeat content by k-mer analysis, (C) depth-of-coverage, (P) correlated polymorphism in the read alignments, and (B) read alignment breakpoints to identify structurally suspicious regions of the assembly. After running amosvalidate on the output of the assembler, each contig is assigned a number of features that&lt;br /&gt;
correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. For this set of contigs, the corresponding approximate genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Following the AMOS philosophy, the FRCurve is implemented as a pipeline that consists of two steps: &lt;br /&gt;
* 1. invocation to the amosvalidate tool to compute the features for the set of contigs; &lt;br /&gt;
* 2. invocation to the FRC module&lt;br /&gt;
The name of the pipeline in the AMOS distribution is &amp;quot;FRCurve_pipeline&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documentation on how to run FRCurve_pipeline is obtained by typing:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   FRCurve_pipeline -h&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FRCurve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Feature-Response Curve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by the standard receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Feature-Response curve characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AMOS package provides an automated assembly validation pipeline called [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Amosvalidate amosvalidate] that analyzes the output of an assembler using a variety of assembly quality metrics (or features). Examples of features include: (M) mate-pair orientations and separations, (K) repeat content by k-mer analysis, (C) depth-of-coverage, (P) correlated polymorphism in the read alignments, and (B) read alignment breakpoints to identify structurally suspicious regions of the assembly. After running amosvalidate on the output of the assembler, each contig is assigned a number of features that&lt;br /&gt;
correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. For this set of contigs, the corresponding genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Documentation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the AMOS philosophy, the FRCurve is implemented as a pipeline that consists of two steps: &lt;br /&gt;
* 1. invocation to the amosvalidate tool to compute the features for the set of contigs; &lt;br /&gt;
* 2. invocation to the FRC module&lt;br /&gt;
The name of the pipeline in the AMOS distribution is &amp;quot;FRCurve_pipeline&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FRCurve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Feature-Response Curve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by the standard receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Feature-Response curve characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AMOS package provides an automated assembly validation pipeline called [https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Amosvalidate amosvalidate] that analyzes the output of an assembler using a variety of assembly quality metrics (or features). Examples of features include: (M) mate-pair orientations and separations, (K) repeat content by k-mer analysis, (C) depth-of-coverage, (P) correlated polymorphism in the read alignments, and (B) read alignment breakpoints to identify structurally suspicious regions of the assembly. After running amosvalidate on the output of the assembler, each contig is assigned a number of features that&lt;br /&gt;
correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. For this set of contigs, the corresponding genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;

correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. For this set of contigs, the corresponding genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FRCurve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Feature-Response Curve&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspired by the standard receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the Feature-Response curve characterizes the sensitivity (coverage) of the sequence assembler as a function of its discrimination threshold (number of features). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AMOS package provides an automated assembly validation pipeline called [https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos/index.php?title=Amosvalidate amosvalidate] that analyzes the output of an assembler using a variety of assembly quality metrics (or features). Examples of features include: (M) mate-pair orientations and separations, (K) repeat content by k-mer analysis, (C) depth-of-coverage, (P) correlated polymorphism in the read alignments, and (B) read alignment breakpoints to identify structurally suspicious regions of the assembly. After running amosvalidate on the output of the assembler, each contig is assigned a number of features that&lt;br /&gt;
correspond to doubtful regions of the sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given any such set of features, the response (quality) of the assembler output is then analyzed as a function of the maximum number of possible errors (features) allowed in the contigs. More specifically, for a fixed feature&lt;br /&gt;
threshold &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;�, the contigs are sorted by size and, starting from the longest, only those contigs are tallied, if their sum of features is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\leq \phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;��. For this set of contigs, the corresponding genome coverage is computed, leading to a single point of the Feature-Response curve.&lt;br /&gt;
