Nextdenovo
==============================

Introduction
~~~~~~~~
NextDenovo is a string graph-based de novo assembler for long reads (CLR, HiFi and ONT). It uses a "correct-then-assemble" strategy similar to canu (no correction step for PacBio HiFi reads), but requires significantly less computing resources and storages. After assembly, the per-base accuracy is about 98-99.8%, to further improve single base accuracy, try NextPolish.
