Jellyfish help

[bioman1]

Dear all,

I am running jelly fish (jellyfish-2.1.1) for first time to estimate genome size. Although I followed manual, i am bit confused to estimate genome size. Below are my steps for kmer 27. Did I get correct genome size estimation. If I want to try different kmers to get best kmer & genome size how I do plotting? If any body have script to plot for different kmers and find best kmer and genome size, please share with me.

jellyfish count -m 27 -s 100M -t 10 -C sample.filtered.fastq

jellyfish histo -f mer_counts.jf > histogram.txt

jellyfish stats -v -o stats.txt mer_counts.jf
