Multiple contigs and fasta files #1

Open kokyriakidis opened 5 years ago

kokyriakidis commented 5 years ago

Hello, can I use more than 2 assemblies and more than a pair of pe fastq files? For example 3 assemblies and 3 pe fastq files?

Or should I just concatenate them into R1 and R2

Hello,

No, you can use only 2 assemblies and 1 pair of pe fastq files at a time.

I would advice you to concatenate fastq files, if the coverage of each read dataset is very low. If there is a dataset with more than 40x coverage, just use it alone.
