Canu is a fork of the Celera Assembler designed for high-noise single-molecule sequencing (such as the PacBio RSII or Oxford Nanopore MinION). The software is currently alpha level, feel free to use and report issues encountered.
git clone https://github.com/marbl/canu.git
cd canu/src
make
For a quick user-quide, run:
../<achitechture>/bin/canu
For full list of options, run: ..//bin/canu -options
Canu is a hierachical assembly pipeline which runs in three steps:
- Detect overlap in high-noise sequences using MHAP
- Generate corrected sequence consensus
- Assemble corrected sequences
Stay tuned, more coming soon.
