Description
SPAligner is a standalone tool for aligning long diverged molecular (both nucleotide and amino acid) sequences against assembly graphs produced by the popular short-read assemblers. The project stemmed from our previous efforts on the long-read alignment within SPAdes (hybridSPAdes) assembler. A more detailed description can be found in our biorXiv preprint.
Availability
SPAligner is implemented on top of SPAdes and will be available soon as a part of SPAdes package. For now, one can download, build, and try a pre-release version of SPAdes package including SPAligner.
For more instructions on SPAligner usage please go to src/projects/spaligner/README.md in downloaded zip archive.
Also see the main SPAdes page for system requirements and build instructions.
