Run Ray Assembler with multiple kmer values

Question

[gustavojorge080]

Hello people.

I am using Ray assembler, however, I want to run it with kmer values 21, 31, 55, 77, 99 and 127.

Is there any way to run everything simultaneously? How does it happen with SPAdes?

Thank you very much in advance!

I do not believe that you can, SPAdes is coded with the idea that it will be comparing different kmers to find the best build. Ray is written with the idea of just one. You could try using kmergenie on your reads to see if there is an optimum kmer you should be using.
