HASLR: a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads

BioStar — Mon, 04 May 2020 02:04:03 -0500

HASLR, a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads to efficiently generate accurate genome assemblies. Our experiments show that HASLR is not only the fastest assembler but also the one with the lowest number of misassemblies on all the samples compared to other tested assemblers. Furthermore, the generated assemblies in terms of contiguity and accuracy are on par with the other tools on most of the samples. Availability. HASLR is an open source tool available at https://github.com/vpc-ccg/haslr.

HapSolo: An optimization approach for removing secondary haplotigs during diploid genome assembly and scaffolding.

Jit — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:23:36 -0500

Despite marked recent improvements in long-read sequencing technology, the assembly of diploid genomes remains a difficult task. A major obstacle is distinguishing between alternative contigs that represent highly heterozygous regions. If primary and secondary contigs are not properly identified, the primary assembly will overrepresent both the size and complexity of the genome, which complicates downstream analysis such as scaffolding.
