Hello,

I made assembling illumina short reads of size 2 * 300bp and I used Velvet. After the assembly, I got contigs with size less than the initial reads. Is it normal?

Thanks for your help

Yes, it is normal. What you do with short contigs depends on your project; sometimes people throw them away, and sometimes they are useful.
