misFinder is a tool for checking assembly errors by using a reference genome and alignments of paired-end reads. Inconsistencies such as structural variant differences between draft assemblies and a reference genome (or closely related reference genome) help reveal assembly errors. In addition, unusual paired-end reads coverage and insert distance are also exploited to reveal potential assembly errors.
