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...
training.galaxyproject.org - In this tutorial we assemble and annotate the genome of E. coli strain C-1. This strain is routinely used in experimental evolution studies involving bacteriophages. For instance, now classic works by Holly Wichman and Jim Bull (Bull 1997, Bull...
There are numerous genome assembly tools available, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Here is a list of some widely used genome assembly tools as of my last update in September 2021:
SPAdes: An assembler specifically designed for...
www.atcgn.com - quarTeT is a collection of tools for T2T genome assembly and basic analysis in automatic workflow.Task include:
AssemblyMapper : reference-guided genome assembly
GapFiller : long-reads based gap filling
TeloExplorer : telomere...
gage.cbcb.umd.edu - GAGE is an evaluation of the very latest large-scale genome assembly algorithms. We have organized this "bake-off" as an attempt to produce a realistic assessment of genome assembly software in a rapidly changing field of next-generation sequencing....
evomics.org - The objective of this activity is to help you understand how to run Velvet in general, how to accurately estimate the insert size of a paired-end library through the use of Bowtie, the primary parameters of velvet, and the process...
sb.nhri.org.tw - A plethora of algorithmic assemblers have been proposed for the de novo assembly of genomes, however, no individual assembler guarantees the optimal assembly for diverse species. Optimizing various parameters in an assembler is often performed in...
github.com - MeGAMerge
MeGAMerge (A tool to merge assembled contigs, long reads from metagenomic sequencing runs)
Description
MeGAMerge is a perl based wrapper/tool that can accept any number of sequence (FASTA) files containing assembled contigs of any...
The genome assemblers generally take a file of short sequence reads and a file of quality-value as the input. Since the quality-value file for the high throughput short reads is usually highly memory-intensive, only a few assemblers, best suited for...
