Subtractive Assembly is a de novo approach for comparative metagenomics by assembling the differential portion of reads directly. Given two metagenomic datasets A and B, subtractive assembly approach first identifies reads that are likely sampled from abundant or unique genomes in A (or B vice versa), using Bloom-filter based k-mer counting. And one can assemble only these reads separately using metagenomic assemblers such as IDBA-UD.

We further developed concurrent subtractive assembly (CoSA), which is an improved version of the subtractive assembly approach for detecting differential reads between two groups of metagenomes. Please check CoSA out at https://sourceforge.net/projects/concurrentsa/.

VCAKE
VCAKE is a genetic sequence assembler capable of assembling millions of small nucleotide reads even in the presence of sequencing error. This software is currently geared towards de novo assembly of Illumina's Solexa Sequencing data.
CoSA
CoSA (Concurrent Subtractive assembly) is a package to detect differential short sequencing reads by comparing two groups of metagenomes on the basis of kmer frequencies. KMC 2 is one of the fastest k-mer counting implementations, so we employ KMC 2 for k-mer counting in our package. Because in many cases we need to compare tens of or even hundreds of samples, we adopt the concurrent hash table in Libcuckoo for efficient k-mer counting. Once the differential reads are extracted, they can be used for downstream analysis including assembly to identify genes that are differentially abundant between groups of metagenomes (e.g., healthy vs diseased). Please refer to our RECOMB paper for more details: Wontack Han, Mingjie Wang and Yuzhen Ye. A concurrent subtractive assembly approach for identification of disease associated sub-metagenomes.
