From: metaMIC: reference-free misassembly identification and correction of de novo metagenomic assemblies
The schematic overview of metaMIC. a metaMIC extracts four types of features from the alignment of paired-end reads to contigs: read coverage, nucleotide variants, read pair consistency, and k-mer abundance consistency. b Misassembled contigs are identified by metaMIC based on the four features. c metaMIC first identifies the error regions containing misassembly breakpoints, and then recognizes the exact positions of breakpoints and corrects misassemblies by splitting misassembled contigs at breakpoints
