This is a KBase wrapper for Polypolish, a tool for short-read polishing of long-read assemblies. Long-read-only bacterial genome assemblies usually contain residual errors, most commonly homopolymer-length errors. These can be fixed with short read polishing. Polypolish uses all-per-read alignments to repair errors in repeat sequences that other polishers cannot.

More details on Polypolish can be found in publication [1] at the bottom of this App detail page.
