===== Overview =====
VCAKE[(cite:vcake>William R. Jeck, Josephine A. Reinhardt, David A. Baltrus, Matthew T. Hickenbotham, Vincent Magrini, Elaine R. Mardis, Jeffery L. Dangl, and Corbin D. Jones. Extending assembly of short DNA sequences to handle error. //Bioinformatics// 23: 2942-2944. Advance Access published on November 1, 2007, doi:[[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btm451|10.1093/bioinformatics/btm451]].)] stands for **V**erified **C**onsensus **A**ssembly by **K**-mer **E**xtension.

VCAKE is a //de novo// short read DNA assembly program that uses ~30mers to assemble genomes. It is geared towards the assembly of Illumina's Solexa sequencing data.[(cite:website>[[http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcake/]])]
