Question about output pickle file #7

Hi,

Thanks for your work on MetaCoAG! I have a question about the tetramer pickle file (normalized_contig_tetramers.pickle). Is it useful to retain that for downstream analysis? Or is it mainly for caching during execution/re-runs?

Hello @jdwinkler-lanzatech,

I'm extremely sorry for getting back late to you.

The pickle files are only used to save the results so they can be re-used if you want to run MetaCoAG again. There is no need to have them for downstream analysis.

Thank you!
