SMIS

SMIS ( Single Molecular Integrative Scaffolding ): an assembly pipeline to improve scaffolds using Oxford Nanopore or PacBio long reads.

SMIS ( Single Molecular Integrative Scaffolding ): an assembly pipeline to improve genome scaffolding using Oxford Nanopore or PacBio long reads.

Further information

# Long reads are shreded into small segments (1000bp or 2000bp) to make fake mate pairs

# Genome scaffolder spinner is used for scaffolding

# Say if you have an existing assembly from Illumina reads target.fasta and ONT long reads: ontreads.fastq Usage:

./smis_pipeline -nodes 20 -score 50 -len 2000 -step 200 -contig 3000 -edge 5 <ONT_fasta/q_file> <assembly_fasta/q_file> <scaffold-output.fasta_file>

nodes – number of CPUs requested;

score – minimum smith-waterman alignment score to report a hit;

len – length of fregments of fake mate pairs;

step – jump length to cut out fregments contig – minimum contig length to be included for scaffolding;

edge – minimum number of edges to confirm a merge
