Polishing de novo nanopore assemblies of bacteria and eukaryotes with FMLRC2
As accuracy and throughput of nanopore sequencing improves, it is increasingly common to perform long-read-first de novo genome assemblies followed by polishing with accurate short reads (Kim et al. 2021). We briefly introduce FMLRC2, the successor to the original FM-index Long Read Corrector (FMLRC), and illustrate its performance as a fast and accurate de novo assembly polisher for both microbial and eukaryotic genomes.
