Fast, scalable alignment and analysis at a price any lab can afford.

<strong>Highlights</strong>
; Accurate : Anchored Assembly accurately detects SNPs, indels, and structural variants ranging from 10bp to 100kbp.
; Use existing HiSeq data : Anchored Assembly uses data from HiSeq and MiSeq without special library prep. You can detect structural variants using your existing data.
; Low false positive rate : We optimize Anchored Assembly to ensure a very low false positive rate.
; High throughput : Reliably detect your variants at the rate that you produce data.

<strong>How does Anchored Assembly work?</strong>

Spiral’s Anchored Assembly uses direct, de novo read overlap assembly to accurately detect SNPs, indels, and structural variants.

Application of read overlap assembly to high-coverage whole genome data is a challenge because of its computational demands. Anchored Assembly reduces this computational complexity by focusing analysis on non-reference sequence regions.

We map variant sequences to specific genome locations by “anchoring”, or matching the ends of the assembled variant, to unique sequences present in the reference genome.  Assembly begins from these reference-anchored reads and traverses variant regions by constructing a read overlap graph.
