skesa --fastq /data/Ecoli-PE-interleaved.fastq.gz --use_paired_ends --cores 8 --contigs_out /data/Ecoli.skesa.contigs.fasta
## Example from SKESA readme, download K. pneumoniae reads from SRA and assemble
skesa --sra_run SRR1510963 --hash_count --contigs_out /data/SRR1510963_skesa.fasta
## example using PE reads that are in your PWD
skesa --cores 8 --memory 24 --reads /data/SRR11306390.sra_1.fastq /data/SRR11306390.sra_2.fastq --hash_count --contigs_out /data/SRR11306390.skesa.contigs.fasta
