Group Extended_partial #39

Open SergeyBaikal opened 2 weeks ago

Dear developers. Could you clarify please. Why is the group Extended_partial based on checkV results circularized (with DTR)? Can I take these sequences as putative complete genomes?

Hi,

Thank you for using COBRA.

Generally, if a COBRA "Extended_partial" sequence was recognized as "circularized" by CheckV because of DTR, then usually, the length of DTR is not equal to the maximum kmer size you used. In such cases, I would prefer seeing it as a partial genome, you could assign it as a circular genome as well at your own risk. I hope this helps.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Have a good day.
