Welcome

Welcome to the official MaSuRCA development blog maintained by Aleksey Zimin.  This blog is dedicated to announcements and support of MaSuRCA whole genome de novo assembly package.

Please supply either Pacbio or Nanopore reads (not both) as PACBIO=file.fa or NANOPORE=file.fa in the configuration file. All Pacbio or Nanopore reads must be in a single fasta file!
