Welcome to Clover

Clover is a clustering-oriented de novo assembler for Illumina sequences, which bases on the de Bruijn graph method and utilizes a novel k-mer clustering approach from the overlap-based concept to improve the robustness with respect to sequencing error especially using large k-mers. Clover achieves a superior assembly quality in terms of corrected N50 and E-size.

Test case and test data of Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain are available at ‘Test Case’ of our Website.
