MetaVelvet: an extension of Velvet assembler to de novo metagenome assembly from short sequence reads

An important step in ‘metagenomics’ analysis is the assembly of multiple genomes from mixed sequence reads of multiple species in a microbial community. Most conventional pipelines use a single-genome assembler with carefully optimized parameters. A limitation of a single-genome assembler for de nov...
