We are happy to announce that the version 2.5.1 of SPAdes single-cell assembler has been released.
This version contains mostly minor improvements and fixes:
- more user-friendly error reports,
- less misassemblies on single-cell data sets with low covered genome fraction,
- decreased memory consumption during the error correction stage.
The release also contains new features:
- running SPAdes from check points: one can restart the assembler after a crash without running finished steps once again,
- automatic k-mer size selection for standard data sets using the maximal read length.
