The (very limited) Abyss manual explains the fasta headers in the contigs assembly outfile like this:
>n iii jjjj
Where n is the numeric contig ID, iii is the contig length in nucleotides, and jjjj is the absolute k-mer coverage.
I don't understand what "absolute k-mer coverage" means. Can someone maybe explain? But what I would really like to know is which basepair in a contig are represented by how many reads. IS there a way to get this from the k-mer coverage?
THANKS
