What is SCAPP?
-
SCAPP is a tool for assembling full circular plasmid sequences in metagenomic samples. It incorporates biological knowledge into an annotated assembly graph and peels likely plasmid sequences from the graph.
-
SCAPP stands for Sequence Contents-Aware Plasmid Peeler.
-
SCAPP was developed by David Pellow, Itzik Mizrahi, and Ron Shamir.
Where is the SCAPP paper and software?
-
SCAPP is available on Github.
-
A preprint describing SCAPP can be found on bioRxiv.
-
It can be cited as follows:
Pellow, D., et al. "SCAPP: An algorithm for improved plasmid assembly in metagenomes." bioRxiv (2020).
