Workflows

Assembly polishing subworkflow: Racon polishing with long reads

Inputs: long reads and assembly contigs

Workflow steps:

• minimap2 : long reads are mapped to assembly => overlaps.paf.
• overaps, long reads, assembly => Racon => polished assembly 1
• using polished assembly 1 as input; repeat minimap2 + racon => polished assembly 2
• using polished assembly 2 as input, repeat minimap2 + racon => polished assembly 3
• using polished assembly 3 as input, repeat minimap2 + racon => ...

Assembly polishing subworkflow: Racon polishing with short reads

Inputs: short reads and assembly (usually pre-polished with other tools first, e.g. Racon + long reads; Medaka)

Workflow steps:

• minimap2: short reads (R1 only) are mapped to the assembly => overlaps.paf. Minimap2 setting is for short reads.
• overlaps + short reads + assembly => Racon => polished assembly 1
• using polished assembly 1 as input; repeat minimap2 + racon => polished assembly 2
• Racon short-read polished ...
