+Pkg-Description: genome assembler for mixed read types
+ Forge Genome Assembler is a parallel, MPI based genome assembler for
+ mixed read types.
+ .
+ Forge is a classic "Overlap layout consensus" genome assembler written
+ by Darren Platt and Dirk Evers. Implemented in C++ and using the
+ parallel MPI library, it runs on one or more machines in a network and
+ can scale to very large numbers of reads provided there is enough
+ collective memory on the machines used. It generates a full consensus
+ alignment of all reads, can handle mixtures of sanger, 454 and illumina
+ reads. There is some support for solid color space and it includes built
+ in tools for vector trimming and contamination screening.
+ .
+ Forge and was originally developed at Exelixis and they have kindly
+ agreed to place the software which underwent much subsequent development
+ outside Exelixis, into the public domain. Forge works with most of the
+ common MPI implementations.
+Remark: Competitor to MIRA2 and wgs-assembler
+ This package was requested by William Spooner <whs at eaglegenomics.com> as
+ a competitor to MIRA2 and wgs-assembler.
