How should I set cds names when I generate Allele.ctg.table?

[LIZW2019]

Hello,

Thank you so much to design such an excellent software to do with HiC assembly! I am a green hand in genome assembly. Now I am going to generate the Allele.ctg.table, but I am confused of the guidance saying "Please modify cds name before running BLAST. The cds name should be same with gene name present in GFF3". Do you mean the ">" line in cds.fasta before blast should be exactly the same as the original gff3 gene name? Is gene ID OK? Can you give an example for me? Thanks a lot!

Hi @LIZW2019 ,
If you are working on a diploid genome, you can ignore Allele.ctg.table and use the suggested pipeline:

If you indeed need Allele.ctg.table for polyploidy assembly and not familiar with coding, you can use a gmap-based method to identify allelic contigs, which is attached here:
#16
This method is simple and does not need annotation of your target genome.

Thank you for your reply, it really solved my problem!
