Hello!

Could you comment on when one might want to toy with the coverage options
to Ray, and what sort of expected effects these would have

Assembly options (defaults work well)

       -minimumCoverage minimumCoverage
              Sets manually the minimum coverage.
              If not provided, it is computed by Ray automatically.

       -peakCoverage peakCoverage
              Sets manually the peak coverage.
              If not provided, it is computed by Ray automatically.

       -repeatCoverage repeatCoverage
              Sets manually the repeat coverage.
              If not provided, it is computed by Ray automatically.


For a single genome dataset, the CoverageDistribution file:

k-mer length:   21
Lowest coverage observed:       2
MinimumCoverage:        14
PeakCoverage:   58
RepeatCoverage: 102
Number of k-mers with at least MinimumCoverage: 17633562 k-mers
Percentage of vertices with coverage 2: 29.714 %


For a large metagenomic dataset, the CoverageDistribution file:
k-mer length:   21
Lowest coverage observed:       2
MinimumCoverage:        240
PeakCoverage:   241
RepeatCoverage: 242
Number of k-mers with at least MinimumCoverage: 11446138 k-mers
Percentage of vertices with coverage 2: 17.4967 %

Looking at these, I'm now confused by the MinimumCoverage value -- in my
metagenomic example it is quite high.  Is this setting the minimum coverage
to be included in a contig?
