Velvet is a package for genomic sequence assembly from short-read data.

See the Software Versions tab for a list of systems on which Velvet has been installed and the specific versions available.

Note that the default version is typically the OpenMP parallel version that supports running on multiple threads.  It is important to limit the number of threads used to the number of cores requested of the batch job system.  A sample OpenMP job is shown on the Running Jobs page.
