Is Unicycler the best option for hybrid genome assembly?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/bioinformatics

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Scoary

    Pan-genome wide association studies

  • BONUS: I was planning on using Scoary (https://github.com/AdmiralenOla/Scoary) together with some Virulence data I have to look for some candidates. Any suggestion of alternative ways to identify virulence factors in these genomes?

  • merqury

    k-mer based assembly evaluation

  • Yeah, Unicycler is solid. iirc Unicycler v5.0+ removes Pilon, so you'll still want to polish your final assembly with your short reads. I like using QV as a quick way to see if I should polish more or not.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • You should read this https://github.com/rrwick/Perfect-bacterial-genome-tutorial

  • plassembler

    Program to quickly and accurately assemble plasmids in hybrid and long-only sequenced bacterial isolates

  • And a bit of a self plug, but you want to look at getting plasmids try this (it’s a work in progress but hopefully should work) https://github.com/gbouras13/plassembler

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
