Description
BESST is a package for scaffolding genomic assemblies. It contains several modules for e.g. building a "contig graph" from available information, obtaining scaffolds from this graph, and accurate gap size information (based on GapEst [1]).
Required Modules
Serial
- gcc/5.2.0
- besst
System Variables
- HPC_{{#uppercase:besst}}_DIR - installation directory
