GRAbB: Selective Assembly of Genomic Regions, a New Niche for Genomic Research
GRAbB is shown to be more efficient than MITObim in terms of speed, memory and disk usage. The other functionalities (handling multiple targets simultaneously and extracting homologous regions) of the new program are not matched by other programs. The program is available with explanatory documen...Tags: GRAbB, Selective, Assembly, Genomic, Regions, New, Niche, Genomic, Research

auN: a new metric to measure assembly contiguity
Given a de novo assembly, we often measure the “average” contig length by N50. N50 is neither the real average nor median. It is the length of the contig such that this and longer contigs cover at least 50% of the assembly. A longer N50 indicates better contiguity. We can si...Tags: auN, new, metric, measure, assembly, contiguity
