CONTIGNANT

Assemblies obtained from s-aligner are always on par or better than assemblies obtained with any other available software (SPAdes, Velvet, etc...). On average we get 110% larger NG50 for viral genomes and 64% larger for other ones. And even if you use single reads you outperform assemblies generated with paired-end reads. This way you can cut in half your costs without losing quality... Find variants that will not be detected by other methods (de-novo or mapping), like large indels. Find also genome rearrangements more easily... Get quality scores for every base pair in your assemblies and visually inspect how every read was used to obtain the assemblies. No black-box results but understandable results. Develop flexible incremental strategies to achieve results adapted to your needs.
