IDBA is the basic iterative de Bruijn graph assembler for second-generation sequencing reads. IDBA-UD, an extension of IDBA, is designed to utilize paired-end reads to assemble low-depth regions and use progressive depth on contigs to reduce errors in high-depth regions. It is a generic purpose assembler and epspacially good for single-cell and metagenomic sequencing data. IDBA-Hybrid is another update version of IDBA-UD, which can make use of a similar reference genome to improve assembly result. IDBA-Tran is an iterative de Bruijn graph assembler for RNA-Seq data.

The basic IDBA is included for comparison, you should use more specific assemblers for your data. If you are assembling genomic data without reference, please use IDBA-UD. If you are assembling genomic data with a similar reference genome, please use IDBA-Hybrid. If you are assembling transcriptome data, please use IDBA-Tran.

Note that IDBA assemblers are designed for short reads (around 100bp). If you want to assemble paired-end reads with longer read length, please modify the constant kMaxShortSequence in src/sequence/short_sequence.h to support longer read length.

Please find the manual by running the assembler without any parameters. For example:

$ bin/idba

IDBA series assemblers accept fasta format reads. Fastq format reads can be converted by fq2fa program in the packcage.

$ bin/fq2fa read.fq read.fa

IDBA-UD IDBA-Hybrid and IDBA-Tran require paired-end reads stored in single FastA file and a pair of reads is in consecutive two lines. If not, please use fq2fa to merge two FastQ read files to single file.

$ bin/fq2fa --merge --filter read_1.fq read_2.fq read.fa

or convert a FastQ read file to FastA file.

$ bin/fq2fa --paired --filter read.fq read.fa

The this tools assume the paired-end reads are in order (->, <-). If your data is in order (<-, ->), please convert it by yourself.

A docker image was built for IDBA. Please use the follow command to run IDBA-UD on Docker (Assuming the input read file is in current directory). If you are using Mac os and see bus error, please try this image.

$ docker run -v `pwd`:/data -w /data loneknightpy/idba idba_ud  -r read.fa -o output
