adNVTR using assembly-level data #50

Hi,

Not an issue, I'm just wondering if adVNTR suits for assembly-level data generated from PacBio HiFi reads?

Thanks!

Hi @WeiYang-BAI ,

If you are referring to assembly sequence (a single sequence), adVNTR doesn't suit those data. adVNTR takes sequencing reads as input. As adVNTR estimates repeat counts based on the number of reads aligned to VNTR regions, a single sequence wouldn't output the correct genotype.

Thanks @Jong-hun-Park , got it.
