HipMer 1.2.2 / MetaHipMer 2.0.1
:: DESCRIPTION
HipMer is a high-performance application that produces high-quality de novo assemblies for very large-scale genomes.
The MetaHipMer extension is a recent addition to HipMer that is geared to large metagenomes and leverages iterative kmer sizes and a specialized scaffolding algorithm to produce increased contiguity and accuracy in metagenomic assemblies. It is able to reconstruct rRNA elements via a separate algorithm which relies on reference SSU and LSU Hidden Markov Models to help traverse the contig graph around ribosomal RNA regions.
