Can I merge draft genome from different assembler? #115

Hi Developer, Thank you for developing this good tool. Is it possible to use purge_dups to get the best set of contigs from two different assembler? For example, I got draft genomes of the same organism from i) pacbio+canu, ii) nanopore+flye. I would like to get the best contigs from these two data set. So I concatenate draft genomes of pacbio+canu and nanopore+flye. Then run purge_dups to retrieve the longest unitigs into purged.fa. Is this approach possible with purge_dups?

Best, Piroon

@piroonj I am equally concerned about this issue. Do you have any good solutions so far?
