About:
Autocycler is a specialized tool designed to generate consensus long-read assemblies for bacterial genomes. It streamlines the assembly process by leveraging high-fidelity long-read sequencing data to produce accurate and contiguous genome reconstructions. This tool is particularly valuable for researchers aiming to quickly and reliably assemble bacterial genomes from complex datasets.
Key Features:
  • Automated consensus assembly pipeline
  • Optimized for bacterial genomes
  • Supports long-read sequencing data
  • Produces high-quality, contiguous assemblies
Use Cases:
  • Assembling bacterial genomes from PacBio or Oxford Nanopore reads
  • Improving assembly accuracy in metagenomic studies
  • Rapid genome reconstruction for outbreak analysis
Alternatives:
  • Flye – General-purpose long-read assembler; Autocycler is more specialized for bacterial genomes
  • Canu – Another long-read assembler with error correction; Autocycler focuses on consensus generation
