Thanks for the useful list.
I found this CUTADAPT useful. It searches for the adapter in all reads and removes it when it finds it.http://cutadapt.readthedocs.org/en/stable/guide.html
Broad Institute listed many new tools for genome assembly, please all at http://www.broadinstitute.org/scientific-community/software?criteria=Assembly
MaGuS: a tool for quality assessment and scaffolding of genome assemblies with Whole Genome Profiling™ Data
MaGuS (Map-GUided Scaffolding) is a scaffolder and a reference-free evaluator of assembly quality. It uses a draft genome assembly, a genome map, and high-throughput sequencing paired-end data. It has been succesfully tested on the Arabidopsis genome with Illumina reads and a Whole-Genome Profiling (WGP) map.
