# Colab SPAdes

The Google Colab notebook
[SPAdes_Colab.ipynb](https://colab.research.google.com/github/steventango/colab-spades/blob/main/SPAdes_Colab.ipynb),
can be used to run [SPAdes](https://github.com/ablab/spades) on [Google
Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/).

It uses a precompiled binary of SPAdes that is compatible with Google
Colab.

Using Google Colab for bioinformatics tools like SPAdes is useful as manually installing
tools is not very convenient and web servers hosted by small individual labs are vulnerable
to going down. Google Colab provides free, accessible, and reliable compute and user interface
for bioinformatic tools.

## Compile SPAdes for Colab

We cab use Docker to compile SPAdes for many environments, including Colab.

```bash
docker build --build-arg="SPADES_VERSION=3.15.5" --output . .
gh release create v${SPADES_VERSION} ./SPAdes-${SPADES_VERSION}-Colab.tar.gz
```
