Handling coverage #190

Open CorvusVaine opened 5 months ago

CorvusVaine commented 5 months ago

Hello, I would like to generate data from different genomes while ensuring a certain coverage n of the genomes. If I am not mistaken, CAMISIM takes the length of the genome into account when generating data, and I therefore do not need to change the abundance if I want equal coverage between genomes, is that right ?

And therefore, let's say I have 3 genomes of length 2Mb, 1Mb and 3Mb. If I want a coverage of 5 for each, can I just set size parameter to 5 2 + 5 1 + 5 * 3 = 30Mb = 0.03 to achieve such a result ?

Thank you very much
