The mmgenome R package also facilitates effortless integration with additional data sources and hence should not be seen as "yet another binning method", but rather a package to integrate different binning strategies.

All functions in the mmgenome R package has associated documentation, check it out in R by e.g. ?mmplot.

We developed a novel, self-contained technique named Near HGT, based on the synteny index, to measure the divergence of a gene from its native genomic environment and used it to identify candidate HGT events between closely related strains. The method confirms candidate transferred genes based on the constant relative mutability (CRM). Using CRM, the algorithm assigns a confidence score based on “unusual” sequence divergence. A gene exhibiting exceptional deviations according to both synteny and mutability criteria, is considered a validated HGT product. We first employed the technique to a set of three E. coli strains and detected several highly probable horizontally acquired genes. We then compared the method to existing HGT detection tools using a larger strain data set.

When combined with additional approaches our new algorithm provides richer picture and brings us closer to the goal of detecting all newly acquired genes in a particular strain.

Availability: The method is publicly available athttp://research.haifa.ac.il/~ssagi/software/nearHGT.zip

Take a look at the PRICE software from the DeRisi lab. Its meant to do something very similar. http://derisilab.ucsf.edu/index.php?page=software

You could also look at SSPACE (http://www.baseclear.com/landingpages/basetools-a-wide-range-of-bioinformatics-solutions/sspacev12/), ATLAS tools (http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/bcm-hgsc-software), and SCARPA (http://compbio.cs.toronto.edu/hapsembler/scarpa.html).

See the PAGIT protocol: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/pagit/

In particular, take a look at the IMAGE tool: http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/4/R41

Also SOAPdenovo has ha function for scaffolding. Not sure about ABYSS

Here there is a useful explanation of several tools.

I could be wrong, but the above answers to your hypothetical scenario appear to miss the point that you aren't interested in assembling the full genome, just the 100 kb part you're interested in. I suggest the following algorithm:

1. Start with the initial assembly C0 of the contigs you have identified as overlapping your region of interest, and the set S of reads those contigs contain. Let C = C0.

2. Repeat:
a. Identify paired-end reads (not in C) for which one or both ends align within, or extending, contigs in C.
b. Identify unpaired reads that align extending these new paired-end reads.
c. Construct a new assembly C' from C and the new reads identified in (a) and (b).
d. Trim C' so it does not extend more than 100 kb to either end of C0. Set C = C'.
e. Let S' denote the reads that contribute to C'. If S' does not contain any reads not present in S, stop. Otherwise, Set S = S'.

3. If you don't have a complete assembly of the region of interest, generate an STS for each end of each contig, probe a library for clones including these STSes, subclone these clones into a paired-end sequencing vector, and generate paired-end reads for this library; then try steps (1) and (2) again, adding these new sequencing reads to what you had before.

4. If your average sequencing depth for the region of interest exceeds 25 or so without filling all gaps, it is likely that the remaining gaps represent sequences that are not getting cloned in your sequencing vectors. Try different sequencing vectors.

In an upset plot, each row represents a category or set, and each column represents a data point. The length of the bar for each category indicates the number of data points that belong to that category. The plot also shows the intersections between categories, represented by overlapping bars.

Upset plots are useful for visualizing complex data with multiple categories and intersections, and can help identify patterns and relationships between categories. They are often used in fields such as bioinformatics, where they can be used to analyze gene expression data or to compare the results of different experimental conditions.
