Meraculous: De Novo Genome Assembly with Short Paired-End Reads
We describe a new algorithm, meraculous, for whole genome assembly of deep paired-end short reads, and apply it to the assembly of a dataset of paired 75-bp Illumina reads derived from the 15.4 megabase genome of the haploid yeast Pichia stipitis. More than 95% of the genome is recovered, wi...Tags: Meraculous, De Novo, Genome, Assembly, Short, Paired-End, Reads

Oxford Nanopore Sequencing, Hybrid Error Correction, and de novo Assembly of a Eukaryotic Genome
Monitoring the progress of DNA molecules through a membrane pore has been postulated as a method for sequencing DNA for several decades. Recently, a nanopore-based sequencing instrument, the Oxford Nanopore MinION, has become available that we used for sequencing the S. cerevisiae genome. To make...Tags: Oxford, Nanopore, Sequencing, Hybrid, Error, Correction, de novo, Assembly, Eukaryotic, Genome

Meraculous: Haplotype-sensitive Assembly of Highly Heterozygous genomes.
Meraculous is a whole genome assembler for Next Generation Sequencing data geared for large genomes. It is a hybrid k-mer/read-based assembler that capitalizes on the high accuracy of Illumina sequence by eschewing an explicit error correction step which we argue to be redundant with the assembly...Tags: Meraculous, Haplotype-sensitive, Assembly, Highly, Heterozygous, genomes, Meraculous-2D

Rectangle Graph for Repeat Resolution in Genome Assembly
Ultimate tool for resolving repeats in genome assemblies. Though the specific implementation of the idea of the rectangle graph approach is already included into the current SPAdes distribution, we're also releasing the Rectangle Graph Module (RGM) as the separate code which can be run inde...Tags: Rectangle, Graph, Repeat, Resolution, Genome, Assembly

MeDuSa: a multi-draft based scaffolder
MeDuSa (Multi-Draft based Scaffolder), an algorithm for genome scaffolding. MeDuSa exploits information obtained from a set of (draft or closed) genomes from related organisms to determine the correct order and orientation of the contigs. MeDuSa formalises the scaffolding problem by means of a co...Tags: MeDuSa, multi-draft, scaffolder, NGS, Genome, Assembly
