+> Autocycler is a tool for generating consensus long-read assemblies for bacterial genomes.

+
+## Example Usage
+
+```bash
+reads=ont.fastq.gz # your read set goes here
+threads=16 # set as appropriate for your system
+genome_size=$(genome_size_raven.sh "$reads" "$threads") # can set this manually if you know the value
+
+# Step 1: subsample the long-read set into multiple files
+autocycler subsample --reads "$reads" --out_dir subsampled_reads --genome_size "$genome_size"
+
+# Step 2: assemble each subsampled file
+mkdir assemblies
+for assembler in canu flye miniasm necat nextdenovo raven; do
+ for i in 01 02 03 04; do
+ "$assembler".sh subsampled_reads/sample_"$i".fastq assemblies/"$assembler"_"$i" "$threads" "$genome_size"
+ done
+done
+
+# Optional step: remove the subsampled reads to save space
+rm subsampled_reads/*.fastq
+
+# Step 3: compress the input assemblies into a unitig graph
+autocycler compress -i assemblies -a autocycler_out
+
+# Step 4: cluster the input contigs into putative genomic sequences
+autocycler cluster -a autocycler_out
+
+# Steps 5 and 6: trim and resolve each QC-pass cluster
+for c in autocycler_out/clustering/qc_pass/cluster_*; do
+ autocycler trim -c "$c"
+ autocycler resolve -c "$c"
+done
+
+# Step 7: combine resolved clusters into a final assembly
+autocycler combine -a autocycler_out -i autocycler_out/clustering/qc_pass/cluster_*/5_final.gfa

+# autocycler container
+
+Main tool: [autocycler](https://github.com/rrwick/Autocycler/)
+
+Code repository: https://github.com/rrwick/Autocycler/
+
+Basic information on how to use this tool:
+- executable: autocycler
+- help: --help
+- version: --version
+- description: |
+> Autocycler is a tool for generating consensus long-read assemblies for bacterial genomes.
+
+Additional information:
+
+This image does not contain any of the assemblers listed in the wikis or tutorials. All helper scripts should be in path and are located at /usr/local/bin.
+
+Full documentation: [https://github.com/rrwick/Autocycler/wiki](https://github.com/rrwick/Autocycler/wiki)
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```bash
+reads=ont.fastq.gz # your read set goes here
+threads=16 # set as appropriate for your system
+genome_size=$(genome_size_raven.sh "$reads" "$threads") # can set this manually if you know the value
+
+# Step 1: subsample the long-read set into multiple files
+autocycler subsample --reads "$reads" --out_dir subsampled_reads --genome_size "$genome_size"
+
+# Step 2: assemble each subsampled fastq file using different container
+
+# Optional step: remove the subsampled reads to save space
+rm subsampled_reads/*.fastq
+
+# Step 3: compress the input assemblies into a unitig graph
+autocycler compress -i assemblies -a autocycler_out
+
+# Step 4: cluster the input contigs into putative genomic sequences
+autocycler cluster -a autocycler_out
+
+# Steps 5 and 6: trim and resolve each QC-pass cluster
+for c in autocycler_out/clustering/qc_pass/cluster_*; do
+ autocycler trim -c "$c"
+ autocycler resolve -c "$c"
+done
+
+# Step 7: combine resolved clusters into a final assembly
+autocycler combine -a autocycler_out -i autocycler_out/clustering/qc_pass/cluster_*/5_final.gfa
+```
