RecoverY is a tool for identifying Y chromosome specific reads for assembly of the Y chromosome. The approach is based on k-mer abundance of reads and uses knowledge of known Y chromosome sequences from related species or transcripts. The results of this tool on assembling human and gorilla Y chromosomes were given and users may try the approach for other species Y chromosomes.
