Hi Everyone! Does anyone know about an assembler where the input is ONLY nanopore data (i.e, no Illumina or any other kind of short reads)? What about using ABySS for assembling only nanopore reads, is it OK? (I know that SPAdes should not be used if I have only nanopore reads)

Thanks a lot!

Have a look here you will probably find what you want.

I've seen good reviews of Flye for nanonpore data (I never uded it myself).

Prior the the assembler you may user nanoq for quality control https://github.com/esteinig/nanoq and/or Kraken for contamination detection https://github.com/DerrickWood/kraken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-6pH3EPZDI

I believe Canu is a popular option. Should work for either nanopore or PacBio long read data.

Flye is working very well for us working on metagenomic nanopore data. Especially, because it offers the --meta parameter with the possibilty to assemble contig of different depth.

You can try Canu, Flye, Necat, Minimap-miniasm, Ra etc.

Shasta is very good and fast, provided you have lots of RAM (over 500 GB for many genomes).
