The Taipan software for de-novo assembly from short-read data (such as Illumina) is now availabe at: http://taipan.sourceforge.net. Details about the algorithm and a performance comparison to Velvet and Edena can be found in:

SHREC is a new method for correcting sequencing errors in short-read data (such as Illumina) based on suffix tries.Details about the algorithm can be found in:
