for the comparison of multiple Nanopore runs on the same plot, to assess if
read length is satisfactory.
+When coverage is too low for efficient reference-free assembly, related
+references can be used as a guide. The Ragout 2 software ([[Kolmogorov and

The HaploMerger2 pipeline ([[Huang and coll., 2017|biblio/28407147]]) takes a
diploid assembly and outputs a reference and an alternative sub-assembly for
each haplotype. However, they are not phased: “_If only one allele is
