Package name : velvet Version : 0.6.03 Upstream Author : Daniel Zerbino URL : http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/ License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C Description : Sequence assembler for very short reads Velvet is a de novo genomic assembler specially designed for short read sequencing technologies, such as Solexa or 454, developed by Daniel Zerbino and Ewan Birney at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), near Cambridge, in the United Kingdom. . Velvet currently takes in short read sequences, removes errors then produces high quality unique contigs. It then uses paired read information, if available, to retrieve the repeated areas between contigs. . Velvet was published in: `Velvet: algorithms for de novo short read assembly using de Bruijn graphs. D.R. Zerbino and E. Birney. Genome Research 18:821-829.' The executables from this package are named `velveth' and `velvetg', so there is no risk of namespace pollution. Despite the package being GPL-2+, there are DFSG issues to deal with, at least a PDF with missing source. A private preliminary package that I made for work is available upon request. Unless somebody asks for fast-tracking, a final version will probably not be uploaded before the Lenny release.
