Genome size estimation from long read overlaps
Our method, LRGE (Long Read-based Genome size Estimation from overlaps), is implemented in Rust and is available as a precompiled binary for most architectures, a Bioconda package, a prebuilt container image, and a crates.io package as a binary (lrge) or library (liblrge). The source code is available at https://github.com/mbhall88/lrge and an archive at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17183812 under an MIT license.
