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
