Abstract

Current metagenome assemblers developed for short sequence reads or noisy long readswere not optimized for accurate long reads. Here we describe hifiasm-meta, a new metagenome assembler that exploits the high accuracy of recent data. Evaluated on seven empirical datasets, hifiasm-meta reconstructed tens to hundreds of complete circular bacterial genomes per dataset, consistently outperforming other metagenome assemblers.
