VAPER: Viral Assembly from Probe-based EnRichment
Key Features
VAPER is a viral (meta-)assembly pipeline that can:
🧬 Assemble genomes from complex samples, supporting multiple assemblies per sample (e.g., co-infections)
🧬 Automatically detect and select reference genomes
🧬 Predict the taxonomy of each assembly, with an optional viral metagenomic summary
🧬 Export reads associated with each assembly for downstream use
While VAPER was originally designed for hybrid capture data (e.g., Illumina VSP or Twist CVRP), it has also been used with shotgun metagenomic and tile-amplicon data. It comes stock with comprehensive reference sets for multiple taxa, including influenza A, SARS-CoV-2, and Monkeypox (full list). Keep on reading to learn more!
