Genome assembly scaffolder with linked and long reads
ARCS is a genomics software for scaffolding genome assembly drafts using linked or long reads.
ARCS can be run in 2 modes and using two different data type:
- ARCS uses alignments of linked (or long) reads to the input contigs
- ARKS uses exact k-mer mapping to associate linked (or long) reads to input contigs
