Hi,

I assembled a crop plant genome and I am trying to figure it out if the heterozygosity of this genome is low, medium or high. According to GenomeScope using k-mer distributions the heterozygosity of my plant assembly is 1.1%. The reports in other plants are very variable and I am not sure what heterozygosity percentage is considered low and high in a crop. I would appreciate to have your thoughts. Also, are there other program besides GenomeScope to calculate heterozygosity in an assembly? Thanks.
