Merqury: reference-free quality and phasing assessment for genome assemblies
Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual. The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality reference. Merqury provides a set of tools for this ...Tags: Merqury, reference-free, quality, phasing, assessment, genome, assemblies

Purge Haplotigs: Pipeline to help with curating heterozygous diploid genome assemblies
Some parts of a genome may have a very high degree of heterozygosity. This causes contigs for both haplotypes of that part of the genome to be assembled as separate primary contigs, rather than as a contig and an associated haplotig. This can be an issue for downstream analysis whether you're wor...Tags: Purge, Haplotigs, Pipeline, curate, heterozygous, diploid, genome, assemblies

Hawkeye: an interactive visual analytics tool for genome assemblies
Genome sequencing remains an inexact science, and genome sequences can contain significant errors if they are not carefully examined. Hawkeye is our new visual analytics tool for genome assemblies, designed to aid in identifying and correcting assembly errors. Users can analyze all levels of an a...Tags: Hawkeye, interactive, visual, analytics, tool, genome, assemblies, visualization

Minipolish: A tool for Racon polishing of miniasm assemblies
Miniasm is a great long-read assembly tool: straight-forward, effective and very fast. However, it does not include a polishing step, so its assemblies have a high error rate – they are essentially made of stitched-together pieces of long reads. Racon is a great polishing tool th...Tags: Minipolish, tool, Racon, polishing, miniasm, assemblies

Liftoff: an accurate tool that maps annotations in GFF or GTF between assemblies
Liftoff, an accurate tool that maps annotations in GFF or GTF between assemblies of the same, or closely-related species. Unlike current coordinate lift-over tools which require a pre-generated “chain” file as input, Liftoff is a standalone tool that takes two genome assemblies ...Tags: Liftoff, accurate, tool, maps, annotations, GFF, GTF, assemblies
