ABySS for paired reads?

[lindseyjane]

Does anyone know whether or not a version of the ABySS software will be released in the future that can handle paired short reads?

I am trying to do a de novo short read assembly but the input data files are huge and Velvet software is not parallelisable. Thanks.

Hi lindseyjane,

Abyss supports paired reads. The README file included with the source includes instructions on how to assemble paired-end data. If you need more help you can post questions to the abyss-users mailing list (http://www.bcgsc.ca/mailman/listinfo/abyss-users)

Hope that helps,
Jared
