Flye

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

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.

    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.
