VirAmp

VirAmp is a tool for assembling viral genomes using the Galaxy workflow, which enables users to use web interface to click through a variety of programs and hence requires little programming experience to operate it. Three assemblers i.e. Velvet, SPAdes, and VICUNA are used by default following installation. The program covers quality checking of raw reads, coverage reduction, de novo assembly, scaffolding, gap filling, and assembly metrics evaluation.
