In this protocol, we address and describe the de novo assembly method for small to medium-sized genomes.

Assembly and Genome record pages now redirect to new NCBI Datasets pages.

github.com - JBrowse is a fast, embeddable genome browser built completely with JavaScript and HTML5, with optional run-once data formatting tools written in Perl. Headline Features: Fast, smooth scrolling and zooming. Explore your genome with unparalleled...

maq.sourceforge.net - Maq stands for Mapping and Assembly with Quality It builds assembly by mapping short reads to reference sequences. Maq is a project hosted by SourceForge.net. The project page is available athttp://sourceforge.net/projects/maq/....

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - Summary: Mate pair library sequencing is an effective and economical method for detecting genomic structural variants and chromosomal abnormalities. Unfortunately, the mapping and alignment of mate pair read pairs to a reference genome is a...

github.com - Generate unique k-mers for every contig in a FASTA file. Unique k-mer is consisted of k-mer keys (i.e. ATCGATCCTTAAGG) that are only presented in one contig, but not presented in any other contigs (for both forward and reverse strands). This tool...

github.com - AlignGraph is a software that extends and joins contigs or scaffolds by reassembling them with help provided by a reference genome of a closely related organism. Using AlignGraph AlignGraph --read1 reads_1.fa --read2 reads_2.fa --contig contigs.fa...

github.com - EAGLER is a scaffolding tool for long reads. The scaffolder takes as input a draft genome created by any NGS assembler and a set of long reads. The long reads are used to extend the contigs present in the NGS draft and possibly join overlapping...

converting a VCF file into a FASTA file given a reference sequence

sepsis-omics.github.io - This is a tutorial for a workshop on long-read (PacBio) genome assembly. It demonstrates how to use long PacBio sequencing reads to assemble a bacterial genome, and includes additional steps for circularising, trimming, finding plasmids, and...
