Run purge_dups with PacBio hifi reads and HiCanu aassembly

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to run purge_dups on a de novo genome assembly generated with HiCanu and PacBio hifi reads without any short reads. One of the arguments in step 1 of the “usage” section in the purge_dups documentation (github.com/dfguan/purge_dups) requires a list of short read files. Would long reads work aswell?

Best regards,
