AB We present new methods for the improvement of de novo genome assembly from erroneous long-reads incorporated into a straightforward tool called Raven (https://github.com/lbcb-sci/raven). Raven maintains similar performance for various genomes and has accuracy on par with other assemblers which support third-generation sequencing data. It is one of the fastest options while having the lowest memory consumption on the majority of benchmarked datasets.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
