Ratatosk: hybrid error correction of long reads enables accurate variant calling and assembly
Abstract A major challenge to long read sequencing data is their high error rate of up to 15%. We present Ratatosk, a method to correct long reads with short read data. We demonstrate on 5 human genome trios that Ratatosk reduces the error rate of long reads 6-fold on average with a median error rat...
