Dereplicate MAGs on strain level about galah HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi,

I'm afraid not really. Higher than 99%, FastANI doesn't give overly useful results, in my rather short experience of trying that. At that level you might be better off making strain trees.

Hi, thank your guide.

My colleagues and I want to make a complete genome from a strain cluster of MAGs. So the more accurate the strain clusters, the less contamination, and the generation of chimeras should be avoided as much as possible.
We have tried to make a consensus genome on some species cluster, although the completeness is improved, it also produces a high contamination rate and strain heterogeneity rate. Maybe something went wrong in our approach from the beginning.

Anyway, thanks again.
I like rust, I like galah.
