Assembly size with ONT reads #166

Hello, in the limitations, you mention that assembly with ONT can result in an assembly size inferior to the true genome size. Do you have any idea of why it is so with ONT and not PacBio? I am just curious ...

It should be the error rate and error pattern, but not always true.
