Error correcting PacBio reads with Illumina reads

Question

[Ric]

New tools have been published for error correcting PacBio reads with Illumina reads:

• HALC (https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-017-1610-3 )
• FMLRC (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5807796)

I am just wondering which tool do you think is the best one.

Thank you in advance,

If both tools are new then it is unlikely that one has been accepted as best yet. You should try out both. Every dataset is different and one of the tools may work better for your data than other.
