Anacapa is a toolkit designed to construct reference databases and assign taxonomy, from eDNA sequences.

An overview of HPC commands and usage, as well as a link for requesting access to the HPC (if you don’t currently have a HPC account) is here:
There are plenty of online guides that teach basic Linux command line usage, for example:
...
The details of creating and submitting a PBS script can be found here:
If you’re testing several tools or running multiple separate commands then an interactive PBS session may be preferable. Below is the command to create an interactive PBS session with 8 CPUs, 64GB memory and a maximum running time of 11 hours (12 hours is the absolute maximum that can be requested for an interactive session).
...
Run the obiconvert command from the anacapa Singularity image.
Important: You need to change every instance of /home/your_home_directory in the below command to your actual home directory (this is because obiconvert requires absolute paths). To find your home directory path, type cd ~ and then pwd. Use the path that this displays to replace the /home/your_home_directory.

singularity exec /home/your_home_directory/anacapa/anacapa-1.5.0.img obiconvert -t /home/your_home_directory/anacapa/crux_db/TAXO --embl --ecopcrdb-output=/home/your_home_directory/anacapa/crux_db/Obitools_databases/OB_dat_EMBL_std/OB_dat_EMBL_std /home/your_home_directory/anacapa/crux_db/EMBL/*.dat --skip-on-error |
MAKE SURE THE OUTPUT DIRECTORY IS EMPTY (--ecopcrdb-output= ...). If you’ve previously run this obiconvert command (as a test, or if it failed) using this same output directory, there may be some leftover files in there, in which case obiconvert won’t overwrite them, but will sequentially add to the database.
The above obiconvert command uses the NCBI taxonomy database (downloaded to ~/anacapa/crux_db/TAXO) and the EMBL database (downloaded to ~/anacapa/crux_db/EMBL/*.dat) and it outputs the ecoPCR converted database to /Obitools_databases/OB_dat_EMBL_std/ and prepends the generated ecoPCR database files with OB_dat_EMBL_std....

During initial testing on the mammal EMBL databases, this took about 8 hours to complete. Note that a PBS interactive session has a maximum time limit of 12 hours (and we requested 11 hours when we started our session). If you are working with a larger dataset - e.g. vertebrates or invertebrates - this process may take much longer, and in fact longer than an interactive session will run, requiring you to submit the above obiconvert command as a PBS script (again, see Start using the HPC for instructions on how to do this).

Cleanup
Running the anacapa workflow involves downloading and generating various large databases. These will just take up space on the HPC unless removed.
