[wgs-assembler-users] Moleculo/Illumina Synthetic Long Reads Experience and recommendations?

[Frank B. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi everybody,

Has anybody had the opportunity to use Illumina's synthetic long reads (SLR
= Moleculo) with CABOG? I am curious if particular overlap parameters need
to be adjusted to account for the high accuracy and haplotype nature of the
assembled fragments. I am trying to compile recommendations on what to do
with the SLRs for new customers and CABOG is on the top of my list for
assemblers. Typical genome coverage that has been generated in the beta
program through FastTrack Services has been low and I was curious if anybody
is willing to share their early experience with Illumina's long read
technology.
Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards,

Frank
