I was looking at an Illumina technote from 2010 (De novo assembly using Illumina reads) and on that technote the assembler performing best for microbial genomes was Forge. However, it seems it does not exist, there is only one paper (De novo genome sequence assembly of a filamentous fungus using Sanger, 454 and Illumina sequence data) which uses it, but the Sourceforge site seems abandoned.
So what happened to this assembler? Anyone had experience with it?
