Short read improvements to MacVector 11.1

The ability to produce de novo assemblies of short read data was introduced into MacVector & Assembler 11 and we’ve enhanced this in MacVector 11.1. Now Assembler stores and visualises metadata on the type of short read you have and also stores and deals with the quality data stored in a better way.

As is common with the lack of standards seen with most emerging technologies there are many different and competing types of sequencing file formats for storage of short read or next generation sequencing data. All these formats try to solve the same question of storing an almost unprecedented amount of sequence data in a useable [...]
