NAME

       soapdenovo2 -  Short-read assembly method that can build a de novo draft assembly

SYNOPSIS

       soapdenovo_63mer soapdenovo_127mer

Introduction

       SOAPdenovo  is  a novel short-read assembly method that can build a de novo draft assembly
       for the human-sized genomes. The program is specially designed  to  assemble  Illumina  GA
       short  reads.  It  creates new opportunities for building reference sequences and carrying
       out accurate analyses of unexplored genomes in a cost effective way.

       1) Support large kmer up to 127 to utilize long reads. Three version are provided.
           I. The 31mer version support kmer only <=31.
           II. The 63mer version support kmer only <=63 and doubles the memory  consumption  than
       31mer version, even being used with kmer <=31.
           III. The 127mer version support kmer only <=127 and double the memory consumption than
       63mer version, even being used with kmer <=63.

       Please notice that, with longer kmer, the quantity of nodes would decrease  significantly,
       thus the memory consumption is usually smaller than double with shifted version.

       For  more  information,  look at the MANUAL in /usr/share/doc/soapdenovo2 or on soapdenovo
       web site.
