====== Merqury ======

Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual.

The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality reference.

Merqury provides a set of tools for this purpose.
