github.com - A de novo genome assembly can be summarised b y a number of metrics, including: Overall assembly length Number of scaffolds/contigs Length of longest scaffold/contig Scaffold/contig N50 and N90Assembly base composition, in...

atifrahman.github.io - SWALO (scaffolding with assembly likelihood optimization) is a method for scaffolding based on likelihood of genome assemblies computed using generative models for sequencing. Please email your questions, comments, suggestions, and bug reports to...

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,...

cab.spbu.ru - QUAST-LG is an extension of QUAST intended for evaluating large-scale genome assemblies (up to mammalian-size). QUAST-LG is included in the QUAST  package starting from version 5.0.0 (download the latest release). Run QUAST as...

To decide which strategy should be our “preferred” genome assembly approach based on data rather than my gut-feeling about the “best assembly” I decided to do some testing with a known “true” reference E Coli K12 MG1655

github.com - Wtdbg2 is a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). It assembles raw reads without error correction and then builds the consensus from intermediate assembly...

sourceforge.net - CONTIGuator is a Python script for Linux environments whose purpose is to speed-up the bacterial genome assembly process and to obtain a first insight of the genome structure using the well-known artemis comparison tool (ACT).  

blobtoolkit.genomehubs.org - Filtering raw genomic datasets is essential to avoid chimeric assemblies and to increase the validity of sequence-based biological inference. BlobToolKit extends the BlobTools1/Blobology2 approach to simplify interactive and reproducible...
