DISCOVAR can call variants on a region by region basis, potentially tiling an entire large genome. DISCOVAR variant calling is under active development and transitioning to VCF.

DISCOVAR de novo can generate de novo assemblies for both large and small genomes. It currently does not call variants.

Canu is a hierachical assembly pipeline which runs in four steps:

• Detect overlaps in high-noise sequences using MHAP
• Generate corrected sequence consensus
• Trim corrected sequences
• Assemble trimmed corrected sequences

Goal: To create blobplots or Taxon-Annotated-GC-Coverage plots (TAGC plots) to visualise the contents of genome assembly data sets as a QC step.

This repository accompanies the paper:
Blobology: exploring raw genome data for contaminants, symbionts and parasites using taxon-annotated GC-coverage plots. Sujai Kumar, Martin Jones, Georgios Koutsovoulos, Michael Clarke, Mark Blaxter
(submitted 2013-10-01 to Frontiers in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology special issue : Quality assessment and control of high-throughput sequencing data).

It contains bash/perl/R scripts for running the analysis presented in the paper to create a preliminary assembly, and to create and collate GC content, read coverage and taxon annotation for the preliminary assembly, which can be visualised, such as Figure 2a from the paper showing TAGC plots/blobplots for Caenorhabditis sp. 5:
