QIAGEN CLC Genome Finishing Module 20.0.1
Released on September 17, 2020
Improvements
- Kmer indexing in De Novo Assemble PacBio Reads now uses a minimizer based kmer index, resulting in improved performance for polished reads.
- Read mapping parameters inDe Novo Assemble PacBio Reads, used when mapping the reads to the assembly, have been updated. When polishing is enabled, this may lead to slightly different results.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where Correct PacBio Reads would make arbitrary consensus calls if the input reads contained ambiguous nucleotides. Reads with ambiguous nucleotides are now ignored. To remove ambiguous nucleotides from sequencing reads run the Trim Reads tool with the 'Trim ambiguous nucleotides' option enabled, and setting 'Maximum number of ambiguities' to zero.
- Fixed a bug where Correct PacBio Reads would sometimes fail if the input reads contained long homopolymeric regions.
- Fixed a bug where Join Contigs would fail for circular contigs.
- Fixed a bug where Add Reads to Contigs failed in the presence of circular contigs.
