Flye: Fast and accurate de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 03:48:22 -0500

Flye is a de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads, such as those produced by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. It is designed for a wide range of datasets, from small bacterial projects to large mammalian-scale assemblies. The package represents a complete pipeline: it takes raw PB / ONT reads as input and outputs polished contigs. Flye also includes a special mode for metagenome assembly.

GMASS: a novel measure for genomeassembly structural similarity

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 20:35:40 -0500

The GMASS score is a novel measure for representing structural similarity between two assemblies. It will contribute to the understanding of assembly output and developing de novo assemblers.

Minda: a tool for evaluating structural variant (SV) callers

LEGE — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 02:43:50 -0500

Minda is a tool for evaluating structural variant (SV) callers that

standardizes VCF records for compatibility with both germline and somatic SV callers,
benchmarks against a single VCF input file, or
benchmarks against an ensemble call set created from multiple VCF input files.

Resolving the complexity of the human genome using single-molecule sequencing

Rahul Agarwal — Sat, 11 Jul 2015 12:47:34 -0500

The human genome is arguably the most complete mammalian reference assembly yet more than 160 euchromatic gaps remain and aspects of its structural variation remain poorly understood ten years after its completion. The results in this paper https://www.genomeweb.com/sequencing/team-uses-single-molecule-sequencing-close-gaps-chart-complexity-human-reference suggest a greater complexity of the human genome in the form of variation of longer and more complex repetitive DNA that can now be largely resolved with the application of this longer-read sequencing technology.
