Benchmarking of long-read assemblers for prokaryote whole genome sequencing [version 4; peer review: 4 approved]

Background: Data sets from long-read sequencing platforms (Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences) allow for most prokaryote genomes to be completely assembled – one contig per chromosome or plasmid. However, the high per-read error rate of long-read sequencing necessitates different a...
