Introduction

MUMmer is one of the bioinformatics programs that is available on RCC systems. The program is designed to align very large genomic and protein sequence datasets using an ultra-fast algorithm. The program is designed specifically to handle aligning entire genomes very quickly.

Using MUMmer on RCC Resources

Using MUMmer on RCC resources does not require a module to be loaded. To run MUMmer, simply type mummer -[OPTIONS] REF_FILE QUERY into the command-line with the appropriate list of options along with the reference file (REF_FILE) and query file or files (QUERY) required for your job. For detailed information on using MUMmer, please refer to the main website where you will find an online manual and a set of tutorials for the program.
