Hey all,
I am trying to choose the best assembler(s) for a project I am working on. I was looking through the wiki page, and there are so many different choices of assemblers available. I was wondering if anyone would be able to provide any insight into some of the better options.
I will be working on a Linux machine, with a genome size of approximately 64Mb long. The data is in short (40b), single-end reads from the Illumina Solexa Genome Analyzer. I am looking to assemble to a set of reference contigs/scaffolds as well as de novo and compare the results of both. So far, I am looking into using MAQ for the assembly to reference and Velvet for the de novo assembly. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
