Velvet assembly stats

[NGS_New_User]

Hi everyone,

My question is about the analysis of velvet denovo assembly.
Are the statistics printed out on the Log file the final real statistics of the assembly?
How does one go about to analyze the assembly from velvet to see if if it is of good quality.
I will appreciate whatever ideas you give, even if its re-directing me to a paper that talks about that.

Yes, they are.

Have a look at this paper:
