SAT-Assembler is a scalable and accurate gene assembly tool for large-scale RNA-Seq and metagenomic data. It recovers genes from gene families of particular interest to biologists with high coverage, low chimera rate, and extremely low memory usage compared with exiting gene assembly tools. Moreover, it is naturally compatible with parallel computing platforms.

...After various attempts to build different mitochondrial genomes in the lab I studied, a general pipeline started to appear: assemble reads with MIRA or SOAPdenovo-Trans, look for a scaffold/contig that matches a closely-related species, check it to see if all expected genomic features are present (since mitochondria is well conserved), check to see if the assembly might have circularized (since it's a circular DNA). If a feature was missing, or it hasn't circularized, try and assemble again with different assembler parameters (mainly k-mer). Rinse and repeat until the best build is found.
