Correcting fused regions #9

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I have a ONT genome assembly with Ra, where I have good reasons to suspect some multi-copy regions have been fused at the assembly step. Is Racon able to "correct" that, i.e. expand those regions? If yes, should I used the "correct fragments instead of polishing" parameter? It is not really clear to me what this does.

Thanks a lot

Hello, Racon only polishes what is given and does not deal with SNPs nor variations, if that is what you are asking :)

Best regards, Robert
