QuorUM: An Error Corrector for Illumina Reads
By BioStar 1753 days agowww.genome.umd.edu - We produce trimmed and error-corrected reads that result in assemblies with longer contigs and fewer errors. We compared QuorUM against several published error correctors and found that it is the best performer in most metrics we use. QuorUM is...World of Omics
