github.com - MARVEL consists of a set of tools that facilitate the overlapping, patching, correction and assembly of noisy (not so noisy ones as well) long reads. The assembly process can be summarized as follows: overlap patch reads overlap...

journals.plos.org - Chromosome-level genome assembler combining multiple de novo assemblies https://github.com/jkimlab/IMAP

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...

RAST – Web tool (upload contigs), uses the subsystems in the SEED database and provides detailed annotation and pathway analysis. Takes several hours per genome but I think this is the best way to get a high quality annotation...

github.com - MECAT is an ultra-fast Mapping, Error Correction and de novo Assembly Tools for single molecula sequencing (SMRT) reads. MECAT employs novel alignment and error correction algorithms that are much more efficient than the state of art of aligners and...

github.com - A comparative genome scaffolding tool based on MUMmer mScaffolder scaffolds a genome using an existing high quality genome as the reference. It aligns the two genomes using nucmer utility from MUMmer and then orders and orients the contigs of the...

github.com - KAT is a suite of tools that analyse jellyfish hashes or sequence files (fasta or fastq) using kmer counts. The following tools are currently available in KAT: hist: Create an histogram of k-mer occurrences from a sequence file. Adds metadata in...

FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually: minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta...

To decide which strategy should be our “preferred” genome assembly approach based on data rather than my gut-feeling about the “best assembly” I decided to do some testing with a known “true” reference E Coli K12 MG1655
