github.com - HASLR, a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads to efficiently generate accurate genome assemblies. Our experiments show that HASLR is not only the fastest assembler but also the one with the lowest number of...

BBSplit internally uses BBMap to map reads to multiple genomes at once, and determine which genome they match best. This is different than with ordinary mapping. If a genome (say, human) contains an exact repeat somewhere, reads mapping to it will...

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,...

bitbucket.org - SimLoRD is a read simulator for third generation sequencing reads and is currently focused on the Pacific Biosciences SMRT error model. Reads are simulated from both strands of a provided or randomly generated reference sequence. The reference...

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - QUAST evaluates genome assemblies. For metagenomes, please see MetaQUAST project.It can works both with and without a given reference genome.The tool accepts multiple assemblies, thus is suitable for comparison. More...

bioinformatics.ua.pt - Smash is a completely alignment-free method/tool to find and visualise genomic rearrangements. The detection is based on conditional exclusive compression, namely using a FCM (Markov model), of high context order (typically 20). For...

www.broadinstitute.org - Spines is a collection of software tools, developed and used by the Vertebrate Genome Biology Group at the Broad Institute. It provides basic data structures for efficient data manipulation (mostly genomic sequences, alignments, variation...
