Velvet assembler ambiguous calls

[gmarco]

Hello,

I'm using Velvet assembler and I've a little doubt.
After reading Velvet documentation I know that one gap in output assembly is represented by minimum of 10 N's. And that the number of N's represent the estimated gap length.

However I can't find information about how does Velvet treat ambiguous calls. I would like to know how Velvet represents the ambiguous calls in output contigs.fa

Does Velvet replace ambiguous calls with a random nucleotide (A, C, T or G)?

Thank you very much.

I've got answer from Daniel Zerbino (creator of Velvet). In case anyone else interested:

Velvet does not support ambiguous call, it just makes a majority call.
