ALE-Assembly

ALE-Assembly

Assembly Likelihood Evaluation (ALE) is a tool for evaluating accuracy of assemblies without the need of a reference genome. It makes use of read quality, mate pair orientation, insert length, sequencing coverage, read alignment and k-mer frequency. This tool can be used to detect errors in metagenomes as well by pinpointing single base errors, indels, genome re-arrangement and chimera.
