At ISMB in Stockholm, July 2009, Bujie Zhan et al. of Department of Genetics and Biotechnology at Aarhus University, published a poster where they have compared various de novo assembly algorithms to see which one delivered the best results to outline the most efficient de novo assembly strategy for bacterial genomes.
CLC bio’s de novo assembly algorithm was compared to edena, SSAKE, Velvet, and 454’s Newbler, and was found to give the largest contig size with Solexa data. The performance of CLC bio’s assembler was especially good, when doing hybrid assemblies of data from both 454 and Solexa instruments.
