Abstract We present the first collection of tools aimed at automated genome assembly validation. This work formalizes several mechanisms for detecting mis-assemblies and describes their implementation in our automated validation pipeline called amosvalidate. We demonstrate the application of our pipeline in both bacterial and eukaryotic genome assemblies and highlight several assembly errors in both draft and finished genomes. The software described is compatible with common assembly formats and is released open-source at http . Rationale Sequence assembly errors exist in both draft and finished genomes. Since the initial draft sequence of the human genome was released in 2001 1 2 great effort has been spent validating and finishing the official sequence. During this process it became clear that the original draft sequences were not entirely accurate reconstructions of the genome 3-6 . It was also reported in 2004 that finished human bacterial artificial chromosome BAC sequences contained a single basepair error per every 73 Kbp of sequence and more significant mis-assemblies every .
