====== ABySS ====== ===== Overview ===== ABySS[(cite:abyss>Jared T. Simpson, Kim Wong, Shaun D. Jackman, Jacqueline E. Schein, Steven J.M. Jones, and İnanç Birol. ABySS: A parallel assembler for short read sequence data. //Genome Res.// June 2009 19: 1117-1123; Published in Advance February 27, 2009, doi:[[http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/gr.089532.108|10.1101/gr.089532.108]]. )] stands for **A**ssembly **By** **S**hort **S**equences. ABySS is a //de novo// parallel, paired-end, short read DNA sequence assembler. The single processor version can assemble genomes of up to 100 Mbases. The parallel version uses MPI and can assemble larger genomes. ==== Website ==== [[http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/abyss]] ==== Source with Binaries and Documentation ==== [[http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/abyss/releases]] ===== Publications ===== ABySS deployed in a following paper when used for assembly of the transcriptome from the tumor tissue of a patient with follicular lymphoma: Inanç Birol, Shaun D.
