Dear Friends,

I ran quast to assess the quality of two contigs I assembled. I noticed that for both the contigs quast presents different "total reads": (the numbr of reads in fastq file is 2625009)

Could you please let me know what could be the reason here? Your comments will be highly appreciated.
