Assemblers

Denovo

Minimus

* hash-overlap overlap: 
    40 bp default : too large for contig assemblies
    20 bp minimum overlap; minimizer window length must be >=15bp; could these values be dropped lower?

Velvet

* overlap:
    18bp usually gives fewest contigs
    15bp is too low => too many short contigs

Edena

 * contigs don't overlap

Cases

No reference sequence

One data set, multiple denovo assemblers

Example:

 * Solexa data
 * edena & velvet assemblers

Solutions:

 * merge 2 assembly contigs
 * run minimus on them

Multipls data sets, one(multiple) denovo assemblers

Example:

 Solexa & 454 data
 velvet assemblers for each set

One reference sequence

Few indels, few rearrangements

Many indels, few rearrangements

Few indels, many rearrangements

Multiple reference sequences
