ARKS: chromosome-scale scaffolding of human genome drafts with linked read kmers

Abstract Background The long-range sequencing information captured by linked reads, such as those available from 10× Genomics (10xG), helps resolve genome sequence repeats, and yields accurate and contiguous draft genome assemblies. We introduce ARKS, an alignment-free linked read genome scaffolding...
