HyAsP – Hybrid Assembler for Plasmids

HyAsP

:: DESCRIPTION

HyAsP is a tool for the extracting plasmids from WGS assemblies in an automatic way. It combines ideas from both reference-based and depth-based methods to identify plasmids in a greedy algorithm, using information on the occurrences of known plasmid genes and considering characteristics of the contigs such as read depth and GC content.
