Added functionality for PacBio CCS/HiFi reads
Thanks for developing this great tool! I just wanted to add the functionality to be able to use PacBio CCS/HiFi reads. I haven't really tested if this is an improvement or not.
Hmmm. I didn't notice a difference in the assembly results between
minipolish --pacbio clr --threads 75 $read_overlaps $unpolished_assembly
and
minipolish --pacbio ccs --threads 75 $read_overlaps $unpolished_assembly
So, I wonder if I correctly implemented the --pacbio option in the python code.
Okay, I think I fixed this. So now --pacbio clr --pacbio ccs or --pacbio no options work. Also changed the README.md and simple running script.
I also added the functionality of using winnowmap or minimap2 for aligning long reads to the miniasm and polished assemblies. The commits have not been exhaustively tested for errors/bugs.
