Important features | 1. ALLPATHS requires paired-end reads. It can use unpaired reads to improve error correction.
2. ALLPATHS assemblies are not necessarily linear, but instead are presented in the form of a graph.
(a) finding all paths across a given read pair, i.e., all sequences from one read to the other that are covered by other reads, and
(b) localization, a way of using pairs to isolate small regions of the genome and assemble them independently. |
