	<title><![CDATA[ASplice: a scalable and memory-efficient algorithm for de novo transcriptome assembly]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[With increased availability of de novo assembly algorithms, it is feasible to study entire transcriptomes of non-model organisms. While algorithms are available that are specifically designed for performing transcriptome assembly from high-throughput sequencing data, they are very memory-intensive, limiting their applications to small data sets with few libraries.

Texas A&amp;M University researchers develop a transcriptome assembly algorithm that recovers alternatively spliced isoforms and expression levels while utilizing as many RNA-Seq libraries as possible that contain hundreds of gigabases of data. New techniques are developed so that computations can be performed on a computing cluster with moderate amount of physical memory.

Availability – A software program that implements the algorithm is available at: http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/shsze/asplice.

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>new&nbsp;</span><em>de novo</em><span>&nbsp;assembler called BASE. It enhances the classic seed-extension approach by indexing the reads efficiently to generate adaptive seeds that have high probability to appear uniquely in the genome. Such seeds form the basis for BASE to build extension trees and then to use reverse validation to remove the branches based on read coverage and paired-end information, resulting in high-quality consensus sequences of reads sharing the seeds. Such consensus sequences are then extended to contigs.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/dhlbh/BASE" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dhlbh/BASE</a></p>]]></description>

</code></pre></div><p>In turn, these parameters mean</p><ul>
<li>use 4 threads</li>
<li>max memory is 32Gb</li>
<li>use 3 kmer values to build the de bruijn graph(s) - 31, 51 and 71</li>
<li>only run the assembler, not the correction algorithm (for speed)</li>
<li>read 1 and read 2 of the MiSeq data</li>
