• version 0.3, installed in /usr/local/apps/eb/miniasm/0.3-foss-2016b

To use this version of miniasm, please first load the module with

ml miniasm/0.3-foss-2016b

Sample job submission script (sub.sh) to run miniasm in a batch job:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=j_miniasm
#SBATCH --partition=batch
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
#SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --mem=2gb
#SBATCH --time=08:00:00
#SBATCH --output=miniasm.%j.out
#SBATCH --error=miniasm.%j.err

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR
ml miniasm/0.3-foss-2016b
miniasm [options]

In the real submission script, at least all the above underlined values need to be reviewed or to be replaced by the proper values.

Here is an example of job submission command:

sbatch ./sub.sh
