PEAR: a fast and accurate Illumina Paired-End reAd mergeR
PEAR is an ultrafast, memory-efficient and highly accurate pair-end read merger. It is fully parallelized and can run with as low as just a few kilobytes of memory. PEAR evaluates all possible paired-end read overlaps and without requiring the target fragment size as input. In addition, it ...Tags: Bioinformatics, pair-end, read, merger, PEAR

CISA: Contig Integrator for Sequence Assembly
A plethora of algorithmic assemblers have been proposed for the de novo assembly of genomes, however, no individual assembler guarantees the optimal assembly for diverse species. Optimizing various parameters in an assembler is often performed in order to generate the most optimal assembly. Howev...Tags: Bioinformatics, CISA, Assembly, Genome, Merger, Merge, CrossCompare

GAM-NGS: genomic assemblies merger for next generation sequencing
GAM-NGS is a tool able to merge two or more assemblies in order to improve contiguity and correctness. It can be used on all NGS-based assembly projects and it shows its full potential with multi-library Illumina-based projects. With more than 20 available assemblers it is hard to select the best...Tags: GAM-NGS, Genomic, Assemblies, Merger, Sequencing, NGS
