How to cite meryl?

[rsharris]

Sorry, hardly a techincal question, but I didn't know where else to ask it.

If I have used meryl (and I have), how should I cite it in a manuscript?

Consider the question a bug report for the README file!

We didn't want to suffer the world with yet another k-mer counting paper, so we stuffed meryl into the merqury methods:

Rhie, A., Walenz, B.P., Koren, S. et al. Merqury: reference-free quality, completeness, and phasing assessment for genome assemblies. Genome Biol 21, 245 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-020-02134-9
