Can Inspector be used in homological polyploidy? #17

hi , Thank you for developing such a good software。 Your article write that we have developed Inspector to comprehensively evaluate assembly quality and identify assembly errors in haploid and diploid genomes. Can I use Inspector to find structural assembly errors in homological polyploidy genome ?

Hello Zhangyixing,

Yes, it can be applied on homological polyploid genomes. As far as there are always fewer than 3 (so <=2) alleles, Inspector can identify assembly errors accurately.

Thanks, Maggi
