View source for Canu

Canu is a fork of the Celera Assembler, designed for high-noise single-molecule sequencing (such as the PacBio RS II/Sequel or Oxford Nanopore MinION).

Canu is a hierarchical assembly pipeline which runs in four steps:

* Detect overlaps in high-noise sequences using MHAP
* Generate corrected sequence consensus
* Trim corrected sequences
* Assemble trimmed corrected sequences

Canu has currently a poor reputation for stealing memory on nodes. Please contact your local system administrator if you wish to use this.
