Can Omni-C reads be used for genome polishing?

Hello,

I have no shotgun data for the genome which has already been polished with PacBio, but it could do with further improvement of gene completeness. I also have Omni-C reads of 150 bp paired end, but is it conceptually ok to use this data for genome polishing? If it is, do read 1 and 2 have to be mapped separately? What are the recommendations?

Thanks.

What are Omni-C reads ? Do you have a link ?

It depends on how well the Omni-C covers the genome. If it covers it well that should be possible yes.

Hello, I've got only about 10X depth of coverage calculating from number of reads. But I'm not sure about what is the coverage across the genome.
