Abstract
This unit describes how to use the Parallel Contig Assembly Program (PCAP) to assemble the data produced by a whole?genome shotgun sequencing project. We present a basic protocol for using PCAP on a multiprocessor computer in a 300?Mb genome assembly project. A support protocol to prepare input files for PCAP is also described. Another basic protocol for using PCAP on a distributed cluster of computers in a 3?Gb genome assembly project is presented, in addition to suggestions for understanding results from PCAP.
