We actually verified the assembly quality in our paper [1] for the 100-genome metagenome and for the 1000-genome metagenome (in the Results section). > Best regards, > > --Yuqing --- [1] http://genomebiology.com/2012/13/12/R122 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
