-**What it does**
-
-The AHA assembly algorithm is an AMOS_-based pipeline
-for finishing bacterial-sized
-genomes using draft contigs and PacBio reads.
-
-.. _AMOS: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/amos
-
-**Parameter list**
-
-Parameter schedule
- The parameter schedule is a semi-colon delimited list of triples. Each triple represents an iteration of hybrid assembly (alignment/scaffolding/gap-filling). The three paremeters for each iteration are the Z-score, number of reads required to define a link, and the minimum length of subreads used in links.
-
-**Output**
-
-FASTA file containing scaffolded and gap-filled contigs resulting from the
-hybrid assembly.

-**Parameter list**
-
-k
- k-mer size for constructing the de Bruijn graph. The appropriate size of k is genome and data set dependent, but a good starting choice might be 75% of the read length.
-
-Insert size
- For paired-end libraries, the expected insert size.
