Not very fast: it re-polishes the whole assembly 

Limited in the number of haplotypes

Strengths of HairSplitter:

Very modular, can be used with any assembler

Naive: makes no assumption on ploidy, parameter-free

Safe: won’t artificially duplicate contigs

HairSplitter splits collapsed assemblies from “draft” assemblies obtained by any means

HairSplitter can recover haplotypes and distinguish repeated elements

Only needs sequencing reads, potentially error-prone

Cleaning your data in this way is often required: Reads from small-RNA sequencing contain the 3’ sequencing adapter because the read is longer than the molecule that is sequenced. Amplicon reads start with a primer sequence. Poly-A tails are useful for pulling out RNA from your sample, but often you don’t want them to be in your reads.

Cutadapt helps with these trimming tasks by finding the adapter or primer sequences in an error-tolerant way. It can also modify and filter reads in various ways. Adapter sequences can contain IUPAC wildcard characters. Also, paired-end reads and even colorspace data is supported. If you want, you can also just demultiplex your input data, without removing adapter sequences at all.

Cutadapt comes with an extensive suite of automated tests and is available under the terms of the MIT license.

Wgsim is a small tool for simulating sequence reads from a reference genome. It is able to simulate diploid genomes with SNPs and insertion/deletion (INDEL) polymorphisms, and simulate reads with uniform substitution sequencing errors. It does not generate INDEL sequencing errors, but this can be partly compensated by simulating INDEL polymorphisms.

Wgsim outputs the simulated polymorphisms, and writes the true read coordinates as well as the number of polymorphisms and sequencing errors in read names. One can evaluate the accuracy of a mapper or a SNP caller with wgsim_eval.pl that comes with the package.

Input

Jabba takes as input a concatenated de Bruijn graph and a set of sequences:

the de Bruijn graph should appear in fasta format with 1 entry per node, the meta information should be in the format:
>NODE
the set of sequences should be in fasta or fastq format. These sequences will be corrected (e.g. PacBio reads). The corrections will be written to a file Jabba fasta.
The output is a file in fasta format with corrections of the long reads, and additionally a file in the input format containing uncorrected reads.
