-#### Merging sample sequenced twice 
-Firstly, we need to decompressed fastq sample to concatenated them.
-Then we creat a text file with the number of read for each raw fastq file before concatenation.
-Then, the fastq files were concatenated by cat function into a new fastq file. And the raw data were deleted.
-The last command ligne allow to control the number of reads of each fasts files after concatenation.
+### Merging sample sequenced twice

 ### Host decontamination
-We remove all reads that match to cabbage, carrot and turnip genome in order to eliminate host genome for a better assembly.
-For cabbage the host genome is Brassica oleracea var. oleracea genome NCBI RefSeq GCF_000695525.1, GenBak assembly GCA_000695525.1. Sequencing date May 27, 2014.
-For the carrots samples the reference genome is Daucus carota subsp. sativus  NCBI RefSeq GCF_001625215.1, GenBak assembly GCA_001625215.1. Sequencing date May 6, 2016
-For turnips samples chose as reference genome is Brassica rapa subsp. rapa, GenBak assembly GCA_018901965.1. Sequencing date May 6, 2016
-Note: This scaffold-level genome assembly includes 655 scaffolds and no assembled chromosomes.

-Each reads were aligned against the reference genome by command ligne extracted from the book : The plant microbiome methods and protocols, Lilia C. Carvalhais and Paul G. Dennis, Methods in Molecular Biology,2021 ISBN 978-1-0716-1039-8
+Host decontamination involved reads mapping against the genomes of Brassica oleracea var. oleracea (NCBI RefSeq GCF_000695525.1, GenBank assembly GCA_000695525.1), Daucus carota subsp. sativus (NCBI RefSeq GCF_001625215.1, GenBank assembly GCA_001625215.1) and Brassica rapa subsp. rapa (GenBank assembly GCA_018901965.1) using [BWA](https://github.com/lh3/bwa) version 0.7.17. The alignement was then processed using [samtools](https://github.com/samtools/samtools) version 1.12 and [bedtools](https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2) version 2.30.0 to discard reads aligning with the host genomes. We recorded the number of reads discarded. Att the procedure was embedded in the script `reads_host_decontamination.sh`. The results were save in `Host_decontamination`. Here is the command line used to run the script:
 
-Then we control the reads number of each sample to identify the proportion of host reads discarded
-
-Directory reference genome: 
-RAW_DATA/Reference_genome/
 ```
-mkdir results/Host_decontamination
-
-chmod u+x scripts/reads_host_decontamination.sh
 sh scripts/reads_host_decontamination.sh
