Hello!
I am assembling multiple PacBio genomes, some which are composed of CLR and some CCS reads. I know MECAT was designed for continuous long reads, but is there an option that makes it compatible with the new HiFi reads? Or would it make sense to use MECAT to assemble HiFi reads that are trimmed in Hi-canu, maybe from the extract-sequences step?
Thanks for your help!
