	<title><![CDATA[Gap filling or Contigs extensions tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>There are many tools to perform gap filling using Illumina short reads, for example "GapFiller: a de novo assembly approach to fill the gap within paired reads" or "Toward almost closed genomes with GapFiller". There are also some tools like GAPresolution that can help to perform local re-assemblies using 454 reads. We used GAPresolution but it is not a very good software, it is useful only in some specific situations.</p>

<p>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</p>

<p>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).</p>

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

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

<p>Also SOAPdenovo has ha function for scaffolding. Not sure about ABYSS</p>

<p>Here there is a useful explanation of several tools.</p>

<p>https://bioinformaticsonline.com/search?q=scaffolding&amp;entity_type=object&amp;entity_subtype=bookmarks&amp;offset=0&amp;search_type=entities</p>

<p>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:</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>2. Repeat:<br />a. Identify paired-end reads (not in C) for which one or both ends align within, or extending, contigs in C.<br />b. Identify unpaired reads that align extending these new paired-end reads.<br />c. Construct a new assembly C' from C and the new reads identified in (a) and (b).<br />d. Trim C' so it does not extend more than 100 kb to either end of C0. Set C = C'.<br />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'.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Dahak is a software suite that integrates state-of-the-art open source tools for metagenomic analyses. Tools in the dahak software suite will perform various steps in metagenomic analysis workflows including data pre-processing, metagenome assembly, taxonomic and functional classification, genome binning, and gene assignment. We aim to deliver the analytical framework as a robust and reliable containerized workflow system, which will be free from dependency, installation, and execution problems typically associated with other open-source bioinformatics solutions. This will maximize the transparency, data provenance (i.e., the process of tracing the origins of data and its movement through the workflow), and reproducibility.</span></p>

	<title><![CDATA[Oxford Nanopore Sequencing, Hybrid Error Correction, and de novo Assembly of a Eukaryotic Genome]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Monitoring the progress of DNA molecules through a membrane pore has been postulated as a method for sequencing DNA for several decades. Recently, a nanopore-based sequencing instrument, the Oxford Nanopore MinION, has become available that we used for sequencing the S. cerevisiae genome. To make use of these data, we developed a novel open-source hybrid error correction algorithm Nanocorr (</span><a href="https://github.com/jgurtowski/nanocorr">https://github.com/jgurtowski/nanocorr</a><span>) specifically for Oxford Nanopore reads, as existing packages were incapable of assembling the long read lengths (5-50kbp) at such high error rate (between ~5 and 40% error). With this new method we were able to perform a hybrid error correction of the nanopore reads using complementary MiSeq data and produce a de novo assembly that is highly contiguous and accurate: the contig N50 length is more than ten-times greater than an Illumina-only assembly (678kb versus 59.9kbp), and has greater than 99.88% consensus identity when compared to the reference. Furthermore, the assembly with the long nanopore reads presents a much more complete representation of the features of the genome and correctly assembles gene cassettes, rRNAs, transposable elements, and other genomic features that were almost entirely absent in the Illumina-only assembly.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://schatzlab.cshl.edu/data/nanocorr/" rel="nofollow">http://schatzlab.cshl.edu/data/nanocorr/</a></p>]]></description>
