Many applications require short reads to be assembled into large contigs. You use NextGENe’s Sequence Assembly tool to assemble the reads that are generated by the Roche/454, Illumina, SOLiD System, and Ion Torrent instruments into larger contigs. When available, you can use paired end information. You can add the base/color-called reads from any of these instruments directly into NextGENe for assembly, or you can use the Sequence Condensation tool to polish and correct these reads prior to assembly.
