BinSPreader is a tool that attempts to refine metagenome-assembled genomes
(MAGs) obtained from existing tools. BinSPreader exploits the assembly graph
topology and other connectivity information, such as paired-end and Hi-C reads,
to refine the existing binning, correct binning errors, propagate binning from
longer contigs to shorter contigs, and infer contigs belonging to multiple bins.
to refine the existing binning, correct binning errors, and propagate binning from
longer contigs to shorter contigs, and infer contigs belonging to multiple MAGs.
Please refer to the [BinSPreader paper](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004222010422)
for more details. In addition to increasing the completeness of the bins, refinement
also enriches bins with contigs containing important conservative genes using the
short assembly graph edges which are typically underrepresented in state-of-the-art
contig binning methods.

The tool requires initial binning to refine, as well as an assembly graph as a
source of information for refining. Optionally, BinSPreader can be provided with
multiple Hi-C and/or paired-end libraries.

instructions on installing and running BinSPreader.
