Currently, YEAT has its' own formula for calculating the value to downsample all given reads before running an assembly algorithm.
Here is the formula:
down = (genome_size 150) // (2 read_length)
Sometimes, the downsample value calculated by YEAT may not be the best number. As a result, it would be nice to have an option where users can input a custom downsample number to override the default calculation.
A request for this feature was made a long time ago, but I do not recall the situation that called for this idea.
