SMRT® Analysis is a bioinformatics software suite available for analysis of DNA sequencing data from Pacific Biosciences’ SMRT technology. Users can choose from a variety of analysis protocols that utilize PacBio® and third-party tools. Analysis protocols include de novo genome assembly, cDNA mapping, DNA base-modification detection, and long-amplicon analysis to determine phased consensus sequences.

There may be multiple versions of smrtanalysis available. An easy way of selecting the version is to use modules. To see the modules available, type

module avail smrtanalysis

To select a module, type

module load smrtanalysis/[ver]

where [ver] is the version of choice.

Environment variables set:

• $PATH
• $SMRT_HOME
