Using SPAdes for Genome Assembly: A Step-by-Step Guide

<p>Genome assembly is an essential step in the analysis of genomic data, allowing researchers to reconstruct the complete DNA sequence of an organism from short sequences called &ldquo;reads&rdquo; produced by DNA sequencing technologies. SPAdes (St. Petersburg genome assembler) is a popular open-source assembly tool for genome reconstruction from DNA sequencing reads. This article intents to demonstrate how to use SPAdes for genome assembly.</p> <p>Before you begin, you will need to install SPAdes on your computer. You can download the latest version of SPAdes from the SPAdes website</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@BThors/using-spades-for-genome-assembly-a-step-by-step-guide-825ede07bc81"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
