J Open Source Softw. 2019;4(33):1083. doi: 10.21105/joss.01083.

Abstract

Summary: GFA has emerged as a standard format for the exchange of genome assemblies and sequence graphs. To encourage further adoption in high-performance software we have developed an open-source C++ library for GFA and a set of utilities for summarizing and manipulating the format.
