Functional Description

djunctor takes two inputs, a reference assembly and a set of long reads (PacBio) and tries to close scaffold gaps or reduce their size.

Functional Overview

program djunctor(ReferenceAssembly, LongReads)
begin
    FindAlignments()

    repeat
        FilterUselessReads()
        BuildPileUpsFromAlignments()

        for each pileUp do
            SelectGoodReads()
            BuildConsensus()
            InsertHit()
    until (numHits == 0 or maxIterationsReached)

    OutputResult()
end
