Best de novo genome assemblies using only Illumina data ??

Hi,

I am looking for papers of the best de novo assemblies ever done with (and only) Illumina data for differents kind of organisms (bacteria, insect, mammals, plants etc.)

By best I mean accurate, not fragmented (high N50), no contaminations, good completeness scores etc.

Do you know any ?

Thanks for your help.

de novo assembly illumina

It depends of the genome complexity and sequencer`s performance, not only of assemblers. I have used and compared SPADES and IDBA for small genomes (about 50 Mb) and I think they works fine.

Please rephrase the post title to reflect more of what you're looking for.
