This module will help you go from a set of long-read genome contigs to a simple representation of a complex multigene family like the major histocompatibility complex. This is not a substitute for full-on annotation, but it may be useful if you want a quick overview of a multigene family across several haplotypes of the same species. We will use the scrub jay MHC as an example and we'll assume that you have already generated formatted tables of blast hits using the command-line blast. For this you will need to setup a blast database of your genome to be blasted, as well as find the appropriate query sequences of genes you are interested in representing. I have found these resources to be helpful in doing this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK569856/ and https://www.metagenomics.wiki/tools/blast/blastn-output-format-6. For example, let's imagine I have several genomes (fasta files) ending with the suffice "ren". On the Cannon cluster, you can run the command:
