kakitone.github.io - FinisherSC, a repeat-aware and scalable tool for upgrading de novo assembly using long reads. Experiments with real data suggest that FinisherSC can provide longer and higher quality contigs than existing tools while maintaining high...
github.com - Second generation sequencing technologies paved the way to an exceptional increase in the number of sequenced genomes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. However, short reads are difficult to assemble and often lead to highly fragmented assemblies....
Short Read Simulators
With the popularity of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, many NGS read simulators have been developed. Currently, many of the popular short read simulators are designed to simulate reads mimicking many Illumina,...
