Abstract:
We present new methods for the improvement of long-read de novo genome assembly incorporated into a straightforward tool called Raven (https://github.com/lbcb-sci/raven). Compared with other assemblers, Raven is one of two fastest, it reconstructs the sequenced genome in the least amount of fragments, has better or comparable accuracy, and maintains similar performance for various genomes. Raven takes 500 CPU hours to assemble a 44x human genome dataset in only 259 fragments.
