 ====== Trinity - Assembly of transcriptome reads ======
-Documentation by Shelby Williams

 Trinity is an assembler of RNA-seq reads, after they have been trimmed. Trinity uses three programs (Inchworm, Chrysalis, and Butterfly) to assemble large volumes of transcriptome reads. The output of Trinity is the Trinity.fasta file found in the /trinity_out_dir/ folder/

+If your genome is compact, that is, genes are very close together with minimum intergenic space, it may be beneficial to run Trinity with the ''--jaccard_clip'' option. This can prevent Trinity from falsely assembling transcripts from multiple consecutive genes in a row into a single transcript.
+From the ''--help'' :
+<code>
+#  --jaccard_clip                  :option, set if you have paired reads and
+#                                   you expect high gene density with UTR
+#                                   overlap (use FASTQ input file format
+#                                   for reads).
+#                                   (note: jaccard_clip is an expensive
+#                                   operation, so avoid using it unless
+#                                   necessary due to finding excessive fusion
+#                                   transcripts w/o it.)
