www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - RGFA, an implementation of the proposed GFA specification in Ruby. It allows the user to conveniently parse, edit and write GFA files. Complex operations such as the separation of the implicit instances of repeats and the merging of linear paths can...

ccb.jhu.edu - StringTie is a fast and highly efficient assembler of RNA-Seq alignments into potential transcripts. It uses a novel network flow algorithm as well as an optional de novo assembly step to assemble and quantitate full-length...

github.com - HiCanu, a significant modification of the Canu assembler designed to leverage the full potential of HiFi reads via homopolymer compression, overlap-based error correction, and aggressive false overlap filtering.  More...

lh3.github.io - Given a de novo assembly, we often measure the “average” contig length by N50. N50 is neither the real average nor median. It is the length of the contig such that this and longer contigs cover at least 50% of the assembly. A...

github.com - Convenient conversions between genome assemblie. The liftover package makes it easy to remap genomic coordinates to a different genome assembly. More at...

github.com - Trinity, developed at the Broad Institute and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, represents a novel method for the efficient and robust de novo reconstruction of transcriptomes from RNA-seq data. Trinity combines three independent software modules:...

bioen-compbio.bioen.illinois.edu - Rreference-Assisted Chromosome Assembly (RACA), an algorithm to reliably order and orient sequence scaffolds generated by NGS and assemblers into longer chromosomal fragments using comparative genome information and paired-end...

www.broadinstitute.org - DISCOVAR is a new variant caller and DISCOVAR de novo a new genome assembler, both designed for state-of-the-art data. Their inputs are chosen to optimize quality while keeping costs low. Currently it takes as input Illumina reads of length 250 or...

github.com - Tools for making blobplots or Taxon-Annotated-GC-Coverage plots (TAGC plots) to visualise the contents of genome assembly data sets as a QC step Blaxter Lab, Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh Goal: To create blobplots or...

github.com - HGA tool version 1.0 This tool helps to apply the Hierarchical Genome Assembly (HGA) method. The tool will apply: 1. Partitioning a given reads dataset into a given number of partitions. 2. Assembling each partitions using a pre-specified assembler...
