Bastien,

I understand that there might be some differences in reported contigs and so 
forth between the assembly statistics file and the contig statistics one.

But here is what I get:

All contigs:
============
  Length assessment:
  ------------------
  Number of contigs:    191661
  Total consensus:      185094585
  Largest contig:       10606
  N50 contig size:      376
  N90 contig size:      225
  N95 contig size:      182

The contig statistics file has a length of 320,582. That’s a big difference. Or 
so I think. Should I not use the assembly statistics at all?

The assembly statistics file is a nice summary to have. But couldn’t it be 
generated by a script from the contig statistics? Mostly anyway…..

Thanks, Torben
