BugBuilder - An Automated Microbial Genome Assembly andAnalysis Pipeline

Abstract

SummaryBugBuilder is a framework for hands-free assembly and annotation of microbial genomes. It produces outputs suitable either for database submission or downstream finishing processes. It is configurable to work with most command-line assembly and scaffolding tools which are selectable at run-time, and supports all common sequence types used in microbial genome assembly.\n\nAvailability and ImplementationBugBuilder is implemented in Perl and is available under the Artistic License from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/bioinformatics-data-science-group/resources/software/bugbuilder, A virtual machine image is available pre-configured with the relevant freely-redistributable dependencies.\n\nContactj.abbott@imperial.ac.uk
