Using SPAdes De Novo Assembler.

Using SPAdes De Novo Assembler. Curr Protoc Bioinformatics. 2020 Jun;70(1):e102 Authors: Prjibelski A, Antipov D, Meleshko D, Lapidus A, Korobeynikov A Abstract SPAdes-St. Petersburg genome Assembler-was originally developed for de novo assembly of genome sequencing data produced for cultivated microbial isolates and for single-cell genomic DNA sequencing. With time, the functionality of SPAdes was extended to enable assembly of IonTorrent data, as well as hybrid assembly from short and long reads (PacBio and Oxford Nanopore). In this article we present protocols for five different assembly pipelines that comprise the SPAdes package and that are used for assembly of metagenomes and transcriptomes as well as assembly of putative plasmids and biosynthetic gene clusters from whole-genome sequencing and metagenomic datasets. In addition, we present guidelines for understanding results with use cases for each pipeline, and several additional support protocols that help in using SPAdes properly. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
