Hi I'm thinking about using NOVOPlasty to assemble chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes from a flowering plant species (WGS Illumina data; reference from the same species available to seed the program). I know the mitochondria in particular is something really tricky in plants and I'm wondering if there is any information on how the program might fare in light of potential:
1) Recombination
2) Multiple organelle "chromosomes" in addition to the large circular genome expected
3) Pseudogenes
1.What you mean by recombination? As far as now there is no in organelle gneomes
2.If there are multiple circular genomes, you need a seed for each (100 bp is enough as seed)
3.They are no problem

I appreciate any thoughts on this!
