Direct Phased Genome Assembly Using Nighthawk on HiFi Reads
Figure 4. The Nighthawk workflow. Nighthawk builds a colored De Bruijn graph from read overlaps. Overlaps are scored by shared variants between two reads. Overlaps with negative RSS indicate cross-phase overlaps and are removed. The resulting overlaps are passed to a string graph assembler (such as FALCON) for phased assembly. Figure 5.
