======Discovar de novo manual====== =====Introduction===== DISCOVAR de novo is a new fully de novo genome assembler. Its inputs are designed to optimize quality while keeping costs low. Currently it takes as input Illumina read s of length 250 or longer <E2><80><94> produced on MiSeq or HiSeq 2500 <E2><80><94> and from a single PCR-free library. These data enable a level of completeness and co ntinuity that was not previously possible.
