Soapdenovo Multi-Kmer (-M) Option

Hi all,

Can anyone give a sample command for using multi-kmer option (-m) in SOAPdenovo2? At which steps should we use this option? It is mentioned somewhere in the literature that this kind of multi-kmer assembly is used in the contig step, then do we use it in sparse-pregraph step or not? And if we don't use -m in sparse-pregraph step, what -K parameter should be given?

Thank you and regards, Snehal

You can just use this option in "all". Or use it in the "contig" step. No need to use it in sparse_graph step. In sparse_graph step, use another fixed kmer size.
