alternative to HaploMerger that takes read coverage into account when detecting
potential haplotigs. However, it does not merge haplotypes.
-`purge_dups`, another alternative tp HaploMerger and Purge Haplotivs, performed
-well on Flye 2.5 assemblies ([[Guiglielmoni and coll.,2020|biblio/10.1101_2020.03.16.993428]]).
+[`purge_dups`](https://github.com/dfguan/purge_dups) [[Guan and coll.,
+2020|biblio/31971576]], is another alternative to HaploMerger2. Like Purge
+Haplotigs, it does not attempt to merge contigs. `purge_dups` performed well
+on Flye 2.5 assemblies ([[Guiglielmoni and
+coll.,2020|biblio/10.1101_2020.03.16.993428]]).

takes Hi-C data and contigs as input and scaffolds them under the hypothesis
