There are also: Meta-IDBA, Genovo, and Ray Meta.

But for 454 GS Junior data, you may want to try also a overlap-layout-consensus

 From http://denovoassembler.sourceforge.net/download.html

you can get a super-stable release from

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/denovoassembler/files/

or you can use the stable rolling release from git repositories:

   https://github.com/sebhtml/ray
