Solutions to ezmsim: command not found

How To Fix ezmsim: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu ezmsim is provided by bio-rainbow package.

bio-rainbow is:

Efficient tool for clustering and assembling short reads, especially for RAD.

Rainbow is developed to provide an ultra-fast and memory-efficient solution to clustering and assembling short reads produced by RAD-seq. First, Rainbow clusters reads using a spaced seed method. Then, Rainbow implements a heterozygote calling like strategy to divide potential groups into haplotypes in a top-down manner. long a guided tree, it iteratively merges sibling leaves in a bottom-up manner if they are similar enough. Here, the similarity is defined by comparing the 2nd reads of a RAD segment. This approach tries to collapse heterozygote while discriminate repetitive sequences. At last, Rainbow uses a greedy algorithm to locally assemble merged reads into contigs. Rainbow not only outputs the optimal but also suboptimal assembly results. Based on simulation and a real guppy RAD-seq data, it is shown that Rainbow is more competent than the other tools in dealing with RAD-seq data.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install bio-rainbow

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install bio-rainbow.

sudo apt -y install bio-rainbow

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install bio-rainbow
