github.com - LINKS is a genomics application for scaffolding genome assemblies with long reads, such as those produced by Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. It can be used to scaffold high-quality draft genome assemblies with any long sequences (eg. ONT reads,...
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/....
github.com - HGA tool version 1.0 This tool helps to apply the Hierarchical Genome Assembly (HGA) method. The tool will apply: 1. Partitioning a given reads dataset into a given number of partitions. 2. Assembling each partitions using a pre-specified assembler...
journal.embnet.org - Next Generation Sequencing has totally changed genomics: we are able to produce huge amounts of data at an incredibly low cost compared to Sanger sequencing. Despite this, some old problems have become even more difficult, de novo assembly being on...
