Strain-resolved de-novo metagenomic assembly of viral genomes and microbial 16S rRNAs

Background Metagenomics is a powerful approach to study environmental and human-associated microbial communities and, in particular, the role of viruses in shaping them. Viral genomes are challenging...

Example: The number of full-length ssRNA phage genomes assembled from 82 metatranscriptomic samples from activated sludge and freshwater (Callanan, J. et al. Science Adv, 2020). PenguiN assembles ~3x more genomes (at 99% seqid filtering) than the next best assembler.

PenguiN, our viral metagenomics assembler, just got accepted at BMC Microbiome! In contrast to the standard de Bruijn graphs assemblers, it uses all-vs-all alignment in linear time to merge reads. This allows it to often resolve severalfold more strains than dBG assemblers.
