Semi-automatic in silico gap closure enabled de novo assembly of two Dehalobacter genomes from metagenomic data.

Typically, the assembly and closure of a complete bacterial genome requires substantial additional effort spent in a wet lab for gap resolution and genome polishing. Assembly is further confounded by subspecies polymorphism when starting from metagenome sequence data. In this paper, we describe an i...
