ABySS
Assembly By Short Sequences - a de novo, parallel, paired-end sequence assembler
Current release
ABySS 1.3.2
Released Dec 13, 2011
Improve distance estimates between contigs, enable scaffolding by default, and remove small shim contigs that don't add useful sequence to the assembly. The default aligner is abyss-map. MergePaths uses a non-greedy algorithm that reduces sequence duplication but may reduce contiguity.

Project Description
ABySS is a de novo, parallel, paired-end sequence assembler that is designed for short reads. The single-processor version is useful for assembling genomes up to 100 Mbases in size. The parallel version is implemented using MPI and is capable of assembling larger genomes.
To assemble transcriptome data, see Trans-ABySS.
