Overview
=========

GroopM is a metagenomic binning toolset. It leverages spatio-temoral
dynamics to accurately (and almost automatically) extract genomes
from multi-sample metagenomic datasets.

GroopM is largely parameter-free. Use: groopm -h for more info.

Installation
=========

Should be as simple as

pip install GroopM

Data preparation and running GroopM
=========

Before running GroopM you need to prep your data. A typical workflow looks like this:

1. Produce NGS data for your environment across mutiple (3+) samples (spearated spatially or temporally or both).
2. Co-assemble your reads using Velvet or similar.
3. For each sample, map the reads against the co-assembly. GroopM needs sorted indexed bam files. If you have 3 samples then you will produce 3 bam files. I use BWA / Samtools for this.
4. Take your co-assembled contigs and bam files and load them into GroopM using 'groopm parse' saveName contigs.fa bam1.bam bam2.bam...
5. Keep following the GroopM workflow. See: groopm -h for more info.
