MeGAMerge (A tool to merge assembled contigs, long reads from metagenomic sequencing runs)

Description

MeGAMerge is a perl based wrapper/tool that can accept any number of sequence (FASTA) files containing assembled contigs of any length in Multi-FASTA format to produce an improved contig set based on OLC based assembly. All overlap parameters (Minimum Overlap Length, Identity, etc) are user-declarable at runtime. It is written to run on Linux.

Requirements:

You will need to have the following tools installed and in $PATH, or added to $binpath in the tool:

Newbler (specifically runAssembly)
Minimus2 (part of AMOS, also requires MUMmer)
