FAQ not up to date regarding ploidy

[Hannah-Doerpholz]

For your genomescope 2.0 it is mentioned as well that it is only suitable for genomes with even ploidy (2xp). However, in the publication it is clearly stated that tetraploid and pentaploid genomes were investigated as well. Does this mean the tool is suitable for uneven ploidies or not? This is not entirely clear to me.

Sorry for the confusion. The original genomescope project was only suitable for diploid samples, but the more recent genomescope2 project is appropriate for any ploidy between 1 and 6. You can input the ploidy and kmer histogram here: http://qb.cshl.edu/genomescope/genomescope2.0/ And see the paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-14998-3 Good luck! Mike
