Genome assembly forensics: finding the elusive mis-assembly
We present the first collection of tools aimed at automated genome assembly validation. This work formalizes several mechanisms for detecting mis-assemblies, and describes their implementation in our automated validation pipeline, called amosvalidate. We demonstrate the application of our pi...Tags: Genome, assembly, forensics, elusive, mis-assembly

wtdbg2: A fuzzy Bruijn graph approach to long noisy reads assembly
Wtdbg2 is a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). It assembles raw reads without error correction and then builds the consensus from intermediate assembly output. ./wtdbg2 -x rs -g 4.6m -t 16 -i reads.fa.gz -fo p...Tags: wtdbg2, fuzzy, Bruijn, graph, approach, long, noisy, reads, assembly

SDA: Long-read sequence and assembly of segmental duplications
Segmental Duplication Assembler (SDA; https://github.com/mvollger/SDA) constructs graphs in which paralogous sequence variants define the nodes and long-read sequences provide attraction and repulsion edges, enabling the partition and assembly of long reads corresponding to distinct paralogs. ht...Tags: SDA, Long-read, sequence, assembly, segmental, duplications

GMASS: a novel measure for genomeassembly structural similarity
The GMASS score is a novel measure for representing structural similarity between two assemblies. It will contribute to the understanding of assembly output and developing de novo assemblers. https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-019-2710-zTags: GMASS, novel, measure, genome, assembly, structural, similarity

TRITEX sequence assembly pipeline for Triticeae genomes
The pipeline is open-source and hosted in a public Bitbucket repository. TRITEX has been run on highly inbred genotypes of barley (Hordeum vulgare), tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum) and hexaploid wheat (T. aestivum) with reasonable results: super-scaffold N50 values in the range o...Tags: TRITEX, sequence, assembly, pipeline, Triticeae, genomes

StringTie Transcript assembly and quantification for RNA-Seq
StringTie is a fast and highly efficient assembler of RNA-Seq alignments into potential transcripts. It uses a novel network flow algorithm as well as an optional de novo assembly step to assemble and quantitate full-length transcripts representing multiple splice variants for each...Tags: StringTie, Transcript, assembly, quantification, RNA-Seq

NextDenovo: string graph-based de novo assembler for TGS long reads
NextDenovo is a string graph-based de novo assembler for TGS long reads. It uses a "correct-then-assemble" strategy similar to canu, but requires significantly less computing resources and storages. After assembly, the per-base error rate is about 97-98%, to further improve single base ...Tags: NextDenovo, NextOmics, string, graph-based, de novo, assembler, TGS, LongReads, assembly, long, reads

MitoZ: a toolkit for animal mitochondrial genome assembly, annotation and visualization
MitoZ is a Python3-based toolkit which aims to automatically filter pair-end raw data (fastq files), assemble genome, search for mitogenome sequences from the genome assembly result, annotate mitogenome (genbank file as result), and mitogenome visualization. MitoZ is available from https://g...Tags: MitoZ, toolkit, animal, mitochondrial, genome, assembly, annotation, visualization, ngs, sequencing
