Do reads to fill gaps need to be error corrected? #10

Hi,

Thanks for the software. Quick question, since there is a bit of ambiguity in the documentation. Do we need to input only error corrected reads to gap fill, or are raw reads OK?

Ambiguity examples:

(2)The long reads file is also required and should be fasta format and the reads must be error corrected. If the file is fastq format, it should be converted into fasta format before running the software.
-l the raw and error-corrected long reads used to close gaps. The file should be fasta format. [ required ]

Thanks in advance! Adam
