Acknowledgments

Many of the major algorithmic improvements relative to RaGOO's first release were provided by Aleksey Zimin, lead developer of the MaSuRCA assembler. Luca Venturini suggested and initially implemented many feature enhancements, such as pysam integration. RagTag "merge" was inspired by CAMSA. The developer of CAMSA, Sergey Aganezov, helped review relevant RagTag code. RagTag "patch" was inspired by Grafter, a scaffolding tool written by Melanie Kirsche. Melanie provided guidance for the RagTag implementation. Michael Schatz has provided guidance for the whole project.
