Nucleic acid sequence assembler for very short reads
Velvet is a de novo genomic assembler specially designed for short read
sequencing technologies, such as Solexa or 454, developed by Daniel Zerbino and
Ewan Birney at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), near
Cambridge, in the United Kingdom.
.
Velvet currently takes in short read sequences, removes errors then produces
high quality unique contigs. It then uses paired read information, if
available, to retrieve the repeated areas between contigs.
