NextDenovo: string graph-based de novo assembler for TGS long reads

https://github.com/Nextomics/NextDenovo

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 accuracy, please use NextPolish.

NextDenovo contains two core modules: NextCorrect and NextGraph. NextCorrect can be used to correct TGS long reads with approximately 15% sequencing errors, and NextGraph can be used to construct a string graph with corrected reads. It also contains a modified version of minimap2 for adapting input and output and producing more sensitive and accurate dovetail overlaps, and some useful utilities (see here for more details).
