Fig. 3From: De novo assembly of highly polymorphic metagenomic data using in situ generated reference sequences and a novel BLAST-based assembly pipelineFlow chart summary of BBAP. a The pipeline is divided into four major steps: quality control (QC), blast and cluster (BC), alignment and consensus determination (AC), and contig assembly (CA). b BBAP can perform de novo assembly, reference assembly, or partial de novo-reference assembly, which includes the initial de novo assembly of a randomly extracted partial data set followed by the reference assembly of the full data set using the assembly results from the initial assembly as reference sequencesBack to article page
