large number of contigs after assembly

large number of contigs after assembly

0

Hi all,

Recently I have been working on a genome assembly of a fish. The estimated genome size given by Genomescope is 2509MB, which looks like a big genome. After the first-stage assembly with WTDBG2, the original genome has 47000+ contigs. It seems weird as the number is too large. I am writing to require any methods to reduce it.

Thanks,
