LRGELRGE is a command-line tool for estimating genome size from long-read overlaps. Built on top of the Rust library liblrge, it supports bacterial and eukaryotic long-read data (ONT or PacBio).Versions

v0.2.1 (default)

Tags: genome size estimation, long reads, rustParameters

INPUT_FASTQ (file) required: Input FASTQ file of long-reads (ONT or PacBio) for which genome size is to be estimated.

target_reads (int): Number of reads in the target subset (two-set strategy).

query_reads (int): Number of reads in the query subset (two-set strategy).

strategy_all_vs_all (bool): Whether to use all-vs-all overlap strategy instead of two-set strategy.
