Summary: The assembly/mapping program developed by 454 Life Sciences for of 454 data

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

Newbler is in fact the core of both the gsAssembler/GS De Novo Assembler (GUI based), gsMapper/GS Reference Mapper Software /Gui based), runAssembly (command-line based) and gsMapper (command-line based). It uses k-mer based hashing and the 'overlap-layout-consensus' approach. Takes both shotgun and paired end reads.

Latest stable version is 2.6, which allows for the direct incorporation of Illumina fastq files (with mate-pair recognition), including those from the Sequence Read Archive. The sff files produced by the Ion Torrent platform are compatible with newbler.
