Hello,
I wanted to know CAP 3 is an assembler reads Long or Short reads?
thank you for your reply :)

It's a very simple OLC assembler if I recall; it may work for smaller assemblies but I don't know how it would handle reads of > 1000bp (it wsa developed for Sanger IIRC).
If you are using PacBio or Moleculo I suggest other assemblers, such as the latest Celera WGS release (which has support for both), possibly combined with minimus2 if you already have a short-read-based assembly. Also, I am testing out PBJelly2 w/ Moleculo data fpr the scaffolding/gap-filling with some success.

looks like Long reads to me as the example file has sequences > 900bp.
Thank you for your explanation.
Then? CAP3 treats Long reads?

re: Cap3, I don't know but it will have problems with PacBio-like long reads (due to error rates). Moleculo is a possibility, I have seen people using it for transcriptome work back before better tools came along.
