Long reads Assembly Algorithms

Question

[midox]

hello,

do you know of assembling long reads algorithms?

thank you for your reply

[midox]

do you have other algorithms suggest me?

thank you for your reply

yes, but I need long reads assembly algorithms.

By long reads, do you mean PacBio reads? Pacific Biosciences has a nice overview of algorithms here: https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/Bioinformatics-Training/wiki/Large-Genome-Assembly-with-PacBio-Long-Reads

What Philipp said. Also, if you have high-confidence (low error rate) reads like Moleculo you could try using an overlap-graph-based assembler like Celera assembler, Newbler, etc.
