Application data

Principal bioinformatics method(s) Sequence assembly, Read pre-processing
Maintained? Maybe
Input format(s) FASTQ
Software features combining forward and reverse reads
Programming language(s) C

Summary: Identifies paired-end reads which overlap in the middle, converting them to single long reads

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

This application combines overlapping forward and reverse reads into one long read. It takes about 2 minutes to combine 1 million 2x100 bp reads on a dual core Xeon and up. A problem might arise with perfectly repeated regions in the overlap, as this can get collapsed.
