Description
A genome assembly correction and scaffolding pipeline using long reads, consisting of up to three steps:
- Tigmint cuts the draft assembly at potentially misassembled regions
- ntLink is then used to scaffold the corrected assembly
- followed by ARKS for further scaffolding (optional extra step of scaffolding)
Environment Modules
Run module spider longstitch to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
System Variables
- HPC_LONGSTITCH_DIR - installation directory
- HPC_LONGSTITCH_BIN - executable directory
