Linked-read data processing pipeline. Getting you from raw linked reads to assemblies, genotypes, or phased haplotypes. Batteries included 🔋

✨ Now works with TELLseq, stLFR, and non-linked read data! ✨

🌈 Getting Started

No data? No problem! Harpy lets you simulate genomic variants from an existing genome and can also create linked-read data from an existing genome! You can see what haplotagging (or other linked read) data and Harpy are like without paying a cent! A simple tutorial on simulating both of these can be found here.
