www.bx.psu.edu - LASTZ is a program for aligning DNA sequences, a pairwise aligner. Originally designed to handle sequences the size of human chromosomes and from different species, it is also useful for sequences produced by NGS sequencing technologies such as...

ratt.sourceforge.net - RATT is software to transfer annotation from a reference (annotated) genome to an unannotated query genome. It was first developed to transfer annotations between different genome assembly versions. However, it can also transfer annotations between...

github.com - In a nutshell Anvi’o is an analysis and visualization platform for ‘omics data. Please find the methods paper here: https://peerj.com/articles/1319/ Anvi’o would not have been possible without the help of many people who...

Genome Workbench 2.10.7 is here! New features include added support for local custom BLAST databases and improvements to Tree View.

compbio.cs.toronto.edu - Scarpa is a stand-alone scaffolding tool for NGS data. It can be used together with virtually any genome assembler and any NGS read mapper that supports SAM format. Other features include support for multiple libraries and an option to estimate...

www.vicbioinformatics.com - VAGUE is a vague acronym for "Velvet Assembler Graphical Front End", which means it is a GUI for the Velvet de novo assembler. The command line version of Velvet can be complicated for beginners to use, but VAGUE makes it clear and simple More...

maq.sourceforge.net - Maq stands for Mapping and Assembly with Quality It builds assembly by mapping short reads to reference sequences. Maq is a project hosted by SourceForge.net. The project page is available athttp://sourceforge.net/projects/maq/....

github.com - pyScaf orders contigs from genome assemblies utilising several types of information: paired-end (PE) and/or mate-pair libraries (NGS-based mode) long reads (NGS-based mode) synteny to the genome of some related species (reference-based...

The genome assemblers generally take a file of short sequence reads and a file of quality-value as the input. Since the quality-value file for the high throughput short reads is usually highly memory-intensive, only a few assemblers, best suited for...
