Hello all,
I am wondering if there is any correlation between sequencing library insert size length and assembled contig length. I thought the use of long insert size will likely generate longer contig length? So I should ask a sequencing facility to use long insert size available (about 600 bp) for my metagenomes? Currently, I am using Illumina HiSeq platform and the sequencing facility is using TruSeq kit for library prep. Any advice or idea would be appreciated.
