-Description: long read assembler based on an idea called hinging
- HINGE is an OLC(Overlap-Layout-Consensus) assembler.
+Description: long read genome assembler based on hinging
+ HINGE is a genome assembler that seeks to achieve optimal repeat resolution
+ by distinguishing repeats that can be resolved given the data from those that
+ cannot. This is accomplished by adding “hinges” to reads for constructing an
+ overlap graph where only unresolvable repeats are merged. As a result, HINGE
+ combines the error resilience of overlap-based assemblers with
+ repeat-resolution capabilities of de Bruijn graph assemblers.
