De Novo Metagenome Assembly Using Read Clustering

Metagenomic assembly poses many additional challenges over single genome assembly. In this work, we tried tackling these issues by clustering reads produced by third- generation sequencing tools. In an ideal case, this would allow the use of existing de novo assembly tools for single genome assembly on metagenomic input. Our clustering implementation showed some improvement of existing tools for de novo assembly when using them for metagenome assembly, but still requires a lot of research. The source code of the solution is available at https://github.com/lukadante/rala-cluster.
