auN: a new metric to measure assembly contiguity
Given a de novo assembly, we often measure the “average” contig length by N50. N50 is neither the real average nor median. It is the length of the contig such that this and longer contigs cover at least 50% of the assembly. A longer N50 indicates better contiguity. We can si...Tags: auN, new, metric, measure, assembly, contiguity
