Description: nanopore whole genome assembly (binaries and scripts)
De novo assembly from Oxford Nanopore reads. The goal of the Shasta long
read assembler is to rapidly produce accurate assembled sequence using
as input DNA reads generated by Oxford Nanopore flow cells.
.
Computational methods used by the Shasta assembler include:
.
* Using a run-length representation of the read sequence. This makes
the assembly process more resilient to errors in homopolymer
repeat counts, which are the most common type of errors in Oxford
Nanopore reads.
.
* Using in some phases of the computation a representation of the read
sequence based on markers, a fixed subset of short k-mers (k ≈ 10).
.
Shasta assembly quality is comparable or better than assembly quality
achieved by other long read assemblers.
.
This package contains the executable binaries (tools) and
accommodating scripts.
