ABBA: Assembly Boosted By Amino acid sequences

Overview

Assembly Boosted By Amino acid sequence is a comparative gene assembler, which uses amino acid sequences from predicted proteins to help build a better assembly. See the journal paper.

For additional information on short read assembly check the following University of Maryland CBCB web sites:


Documentation

Documentation on running ABBA is included with the distribution in the /docs subdirectory of AMOS.
