An improved filtering algorithm for big read datasets and its application to single-cell assembly

Abstract Background For single-cell or metagenomic sequencing projects, it is necessary to sequence with a very high mean coverage in order to make sure that all parts of the sample DNA get covered by the reads produced. This leads to huge datasets with lots of redundant data. A filtering of this da...
