Hi,
From documentatioon it appears that ABySS only can output contigs and scaffolds in fasta. Is there a way to get more detailed assemblies, which list reads that compose contigs? My feeling is that this task is restricted to de novo assemblers that can output sam, bam and other more informative assembly formats. I used 454 newbler, but it discards reads shorter that 75 nt or so (Illumina datasets).

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...
