idba-extra - 1.1.3-8+b1 main

IDBA stands for iterative de Bruijn graph assembler. In computational
sequence biology, an assembler solves the puzzle coming from large
sequencing machines that feature many gigabytes of short reads from a
large genome.
.
This package provides several flavours of the IDBA assembler, as they all
share the same source tree but serve different purposes and evolved over time.
.
IDBA is the basic iterative de Bruijn graph assembler for
second-generation sequencing reads. IDBA-UD, an extension of IDBA,
is designed to utilize paired-end reads to assemble low-depth regions
and use progressive depth on contigs to reduce errors in high-depth
regions. It is a generic purpose assembler and especially good for
single-cell and metagenomic sequencing data. IDBA-Hybrid is another
update version of IDBA-UD, which can make use of a similar reference
genome to improve assembly result. IDBA-Tran is an iterative de Bruijn
graph assembler for RNA-Seq data.
.
This package ships extra tools for using idba in specific situations.
