Flye

A de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads, such as PacBio and Oxford Nanopore

Download plugin

Requires Geneious 2020.1+

    Flye is a de novo assembler designed for a wide range of datasets, from small bacterial projects to large mammalian-scale assemblies. Flye also includes a special mode for metagenome assembly.

    Quick Start

    Install the plugin by downloading the gplugin file and dragging it in to Geneious Prime or use the plugin manager in Geneious (under Tools - Plugins in the menu).

    Once installed, run the plugin by selecting your reads and reference sequence then clicking on Align/Assemble - De Novo Assemble in the toolbar. Flye is available as an option in the Algorithm drop-down menu.
