Hi everyone! I'm new in the process of assembling a genome so, please, forgive my mistakes.

I was trying to find the optimal k parameter with the Abyss assembler. For that I followed the manual and wrote this bash script:

    #!/bin/bash

for k in `seq 20 8 90`; do
        mkdir k$k
        abyss-pe np=4 -C k$k k=$k name=cloroplast lib='pea' \
        pea='../../../ZM1/ZM1_R1.fastq ../../../ZM1/ZM1_R2.fastq'
done
abyss-fac k*/cloroplast-contigs.fa

Can someone tell me what did I do wrong? Thank you in advance :)
