Does anyone know any software that will close gaps between contigs using Solexa mate-pair data (insertion ~2500kb)?

Are you saying u can generate reads with an insert size of 2500kb? -
Woops! 2500b

We do...
At the Sanger Insitute, we developed some software which is not published yet for filling the gaps using solexa reads. Is working really well, and it let you close around 60% of the gaps (in average). We haven't test it using that length of insert size but the projections tell us that it would close more gaps with larger insert sizes.
Also we have things for error correction that uses solexa reads too.
Contact me if you want more details.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
