A circular contig with replicons from a hybrid assembly is classified as a chromosome #157

Hello,

Thank you for creating a great tool. I used mob-recon to check a big dataset which included assemblies of different level (short-only, long-only, hybrid) and I noticed that some large circular contigs (400-600 kbp) with replicons from some hybrid assemblies are classified as chromosome. I suppose that it is a mistake and these contigs are plasmids. "filtering_reason" is '-' in a contig report file. Could you please clarify how it might happened and is there a way to avoid this misclassification? I saw #60 and it is still not clear, because my contig was not marked as a repitive element.

A lot of thanks, Valery
