## Getting Started
```sh
# Install hifiasm (requiring g++ and zlib)

## Introduction
Hifiasm is a fast haplotype-resolved de novo assembler for PacBio Hifi reads.
It can assemble a human genome in several hours and works with the California
redwood genome, one of the most complex genomes sequenced so far. Hifiasm can
produce primary/alternate assemblies of quality competitive with the best
assemblers. It also introduces a new graph binning algorithm and achieves
the best haplotype-resolved assembly given trio data.
## Why Hifiasm?
* Hifiasm delivers high-quality assemblies. It tends to generate longer contigs
and resolve more segmental duplications than other assemblers.
* Given sequence reads from the parents, hifiasm can produce overall the best
haplotype-resolved assembly so far. It is the assembler of choice by the
[Human Pangenome Project][hpp] for the first batch of samples.
* Hifiasm can purge duplications between haplotigs without relying on
third-party tools such as purge\_dups. Hifiasm does not need polishing tools
like pilon or racon, either. This simplifies the assembly pipeline and saves
running time.
* Hifiasm is fast. It can assemble a human genome in half a day and assemble a
~30Gb redwood genome in three days. No genome is too large for hifiasm.
* Hifiasm is trivial to install and easy to use. It does not required python,
R or C++11 compilers and can be compiled into a single executable. The
default setting works well with a variety of genomes.

## Usage
A typical hifiasm command line looks like:
```sh
hifiasm -o NA12878.asm -t 32 NA12878.fq.gz
```
where `NA12878.fq.gz` provides the input reads, `-t` sets the number of CPUs in
use and `-o` specifies the prefix of output files. For this example, the
primary contigs are written to `NA12878.asm.p_ctg.gfa` and alternate contigs to
`NA12878.asm.a_ctg.gfa`. At the first run, hifiasm saves corrected reads and
overlaps to disk as `NA12878.asm.*.bin`. It reuses the saved results to avoid
the time-consuming all-vs-all overlap calculation next time. You may specify
`-i` to ignore precomputed overlaps and redo overlapping from raw reads.
Hifiasm purges haplotig duplications by default. For inbred or homozygous
genomes, you may disable purging with option `-l0`. Old HiFi reads may contain
short adapter sequences at the ends of reads. You can specify `-z20` to trim
both ends of reads by 20bp. For small genomes, use `-f0` to disable the initial
bloom filter which takes 16GB memory at the beginning. For genomes much larger
than human, applying `-f38` or even `-f39` is preferred to save memory on k-mer
counting.
When parental short reads are available, hifiasm can generate a pair of
haplotype-resolved assemblies with trio binning. To perform such assembly, you
need to count k-mers first with [yak][yak] first and then do assembly:
```sh
yak count -k31 -b37 -t16 -o pat.yak paternal.fq.gz
yak count -k31 -b37 -t16 -o mat.yak maternal.fq.gz
hifiasm -o NA12878.asm -t 32 -1 pat.yak -2 mat.yak NA12878.fq.gz
```
Here `NA12878.asm.hap1.p_ctg.gfa` and `NA12878.asm.hap2.p_ctg.gfa` give the two
haplotype assemblies. In the binning mode, hifiasm does not purge haplotig
duplications by default. Because hifiasm reuses saved overlaps, you can
generate both primary/alternate assemblies and trio binning assemblies with
```sh
hifiasm -o NA12878.asm -t 32 NA12878.fq.gz 2> NA12878.asm.pri.log
hifiasm -o NA12878.asm -t 32 -1 pat.yak -2 mat.yak /dev/null 2> NA12878.asm.trio.log
```
The second command line will run much faster than the first. You can also dump
error corrected in FASTA and/or overlaps in PAF with
```sh
hifiasm -o NA12878.asm -t 32 --write-paf --write-ec /dev/null
```
## Output files
For non-trio assembly, hifiasm generates the following files:
1. Haplotype-resolved raw [unitig][unitig] graph in [GFA][gfa] format
(*prefix*.r\_utg.gfa). This graph keeps all haplotype information, including
somatic mutations and recurrent sequencing errors.
2. Haplotype-resolved processed unitig graph without small bubbles
(*prefix*.p\_utg.gfa). Small bubbles might be caused by somatic mutations or noise in data,
which are not the real haplotype information.
3. Primary assembly [contig][unitig] graph (*prefix*.p\_ctg.gfa). This graph collapses different
haplotypes.
4. Alternate assembly contig graph (*prefix*.a\_ctg.gfa). This graph consists of all assemblies that
are discarded in primary contig graph.
For trio assembly, hifiasm generates the following files:
1. Haplotype-resolved raw [unitig][unitig] graph in [GFA][gfa] format
(*prefix*.r\_utg.gfa). This graph keeps all haplotype information.
2. Phased paternal/haplotype1 contig graph (*prefix*.hap1.p\_ctg.gfa). This graph keeps the phased
paternal/haplotype1 assembly.
3. Phased maternal/haplotype2 contig graph (*prefix*.hap2.p\_ctg.gfa). This graph keeps the phased
maternal/haplotype2 assembly.
Hifiasm writes error corrected reads to the *prefix*.ec.bin binary file and
writes overlaps to *prefix*.ovlp.source.bin and *prefix*.ovlp.reverse.bin.
