Use this workflow sample to assemble genomes from short reads with Spades.

If you haven't used the workflow samples in UGENE before, look at the "How to Use Sample Workflows" section of the documentation.

Workflow Sample Location

The workflow sample "Assembly with Spades" can be found in the "NGS" section of the Workflow Designer samples.

Workflow Wizard

The wizard for single tags has 1 page.

  1. Genome assembly settings: On this page you must input single reads and optionally modify advanced parameters.
