Benchmarks of de novo assemblers for bacterial genomes
To benckmark multiple de novo assemblers for bacterial genomes, MiSeq (Illumina) paired-ends and MinION (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) long-reads were sequenced. The target strains consist of Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655, Escherichia coli O157 Sakai, Bordetella bronchiseptica S798, Serratia marcescens SM39 and Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277. The main purpose of this project was to develop the de novo assembler, Platanus_B.
