 +==== Method ====
 +The method for SOAPdenovo is described in the paper [[http://​genome.cshlp.org/​content/​20/​2/​265.full|"​De novo assembly of human genomes with massively parallel short read sequencing"​]] by Li et al.
 +
 +=== Short Read Data ===
 +Fragment and paired-end libraries are sequenced using various insert sizes. They used read lengths from 35 to 75 bp and insert sizes of 140 bp, 440 bp, 2.6 kb, 6 kb, and 9.6 kb.
 +
 +Basic error correction was performed on the reads using K-mer counting to reduce the memory usage when constructing the de Bruijn graph. This was done by identifying low frequency (occurring <3 times) 17-mers and correcting these K-mers to the candidate with the highest frequency. ​
 +
 +=== De Bruijn Graph === 
 +The next step is to build the de Bruijn graph to represent overlap of k-mers. 25-mers were used in their assembly.
 +Only the single-end and paired-end reads with short insert sizes (<1 kb) were used in the graph due the high probability of chimeric reads in the long-insert pairs from the circularizing and fragmentation process. Further error correction is done using the de Bruijn graph. ​
 +
 +    * Clip tips (low coverage paths that lead to dead ends)
 +    * Remove low coverage links
 +    * Resolve tiny repeats greater than K, but less than the read lengths.
 +    * Merge bubbles (paths with the same start and end). These can represent an error or a true polymorphism.

 +==== Using SOAPdenovo ====
 +
 +SOAPdenovo has three executables each tuned for a different range of k-mer sizes (SOAPdenovo-31mer,​ SOAPdenovo-63mer,​ SOAPdenovo-127mer). For example, ''​SOAPdenovo-31mer''​ works best on k-mer sizes up to and including 31. For larger k-mers than 31 and lower than 64, use ''​SOAPdenovo-63mer''​.
 +
 +SOAPdenovo requires a configuration file that describes the libraries that will be used in the assembly. A library entry is required for each read file or pair of read files in the case of paired-end reads. Here is an example of the 5 library entries for 1 lane of run1.
