CANU is a tool to assemble long reads from either PacBio or Oxford Nanopore, which have higher error rates than short reads from Illumina. The tool runs much faster than its predecessor, Celera Assembler, and implemented some new overlapping and assembly algorithms such as adaptive overlapping strategy and sparse assembly graph construction. It can also provide output in graphical fragment assembly (GFA) format. See also the add-on: HiCanu.
