The answer is simple: I just want to get the best out of this data :-)

More precisely, I was wondering how the reads in the 'contigs
categorised as junk' affect the assembly process:

- - can some of these reads be responsible for splitting contigs because
of ambiguities?
- - is this just sequencing errors and small repeats that cannot be
assembled in the larger contigs?
- - could this data still be interesting for my assembly?
- - is this contaminant data? if so, wouldn't it be best to filter this
out before the assembly process?

Thanks for your help,
Leonor.
