Falcon: a set of tools for fast aligning long reads for consensus and assembly

The Falcon tool kit is a set of simple code collection which I use for studying efficient assembly algorithm for haploid and diploid genomes. It has some back-end code implemented in C for speed and some simple front-end written in Python for convenience.

The default branch is now "master" which contained the latest code.

The current latest intergrated release is v0.3.0. Check v0.3+ Integration Installation Guide for installation.

For the pre-Jun 2015 v0.2.2 version, please check v0.2.2 release github repository. We will no longer address issues that are specific to that branch unless they also impact the current master branch.
