Page 10 of the MANUAL describes columns 1-8 of the .metassem file. However, after running the provided example (for version 1.5), the .metassem file has another 10 columns.
Posting this so that other users will know. I have no illusion that a package that was last updated 4 years ago is actively being supported.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks for the note. Columns 1-8 are the only ones that are needed to assemble the final contigs using meta2fasta.pl. The additional columns are debugging codes and coordinates of the original assemblies encoding the status of the CE statistic over the breakpoints of the alignments. Since they are not used in the downstream analysis, you can safely ignore them.
Good luck
Mike
