Is your genome assembled with hifi? If it is, there is no need to polish it using subreads, but you can polish it use HIFI reads. Btw, because these results are very similar, so this difference is probably due to few gene differences caused by random mapping, you can ignore it. Of course, you can call homozygous SNP to evaluate global accuracy.
Question or Expected behavior Hello, I use NextPolish with Illumina reads to polish my Pacbio ( by CANU ) assembly contigs, but I found the BUSCO and LAI decrease after the polish step. I have made some tests and all of them seem to decrease the BUSCO and LAI score. I am curious why this is, do you have any insights on this phenomenon.
NextPolish NextPolish version 1.3.1 Below is my run script:
Additional context (Optional) I have tried some combination polish methods and test their BUSCO, LAI:
My Pacbio data is ~160x, and my Illumina short reads is ~60x. As you can see, all polish step will decrease the BUSCO and LAI. It seems use Arrow and Pacbio subreads will decrease more score.
