fairy

fast approximate contig coverage for metagenomic binning Fairy computes multi-sample contig coverage for metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) binning. Fairy is used after metagenomic assembly and before binning. It can - Calculate coverage 100x-1000x faster than read alignment (e.g. BWA) - Give comparable bins for multi-sample binning (short read or nanopore reads) - Output formats that are compatible with MetaBAT2, MaxBin2, SemiBin2, and more
