chunlab.wordpress.com - CLgenomics is a standalone desktop software specifically designed for bacterial genome analysis. This program has a powerful multi-genome browser, which enables rapid and responsive exploration of bacterial genomes.
To use CLgenomics, individual...
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...
When you have both Illumina and Nanopore data, then SPAdes remains a good option for hybrid assembly - SPAdes was used to produce the B fragilis assembly by Mick Watson’s group.
Again, running spades.py will show you the...
In graph theory, a string graph is an intersection graph of curves in the plane; each curve is called a "string". String graphs were first proposed by E. W. Myers in a 2005 publication.
github.com - A de novo genome assembly can be summarised b

Overall assembly length
Number of scaffolds/contigs
Length of longest scaffold/contig

sepsis-omics.github.io - This is a tutorial for a workshop on long-read (PacBio) genome assembly.
It demonstrates how to use long PacBio sequencing reads to assemble a bacterial genome, and includes additional steps for circularising, trimming, finding plasmids, and...
github.com - SKESA is a DeBruijn graph-based de-novo assembler designed for assembling reads of microbial genomes sequenced using Illumina. Comparison with SPAdes and MegaHit shows that SKESA produces assemblies that have high sequence quality and contiguity,...
