11. Genome assembly - challenge exercise.
Use the MEGAHIT assembler
to assemble the data set at https://osf.io/frdz5/download. Then, run
the quast program on it to produce some summary metrics about your
assembly.
Questions:
- what is the read type for this data set?
- what is the approximate size of the assembled genome?
- what strategies would you use to figure out what species this genome
is from?
