Assembling ONT data only using metaviral option

Description of bug

I only have the ONT data from the metaviral project. When I pass this ONT data to spades in fails and asking me to provide -R1 and -R2 illumina reads. How can I go around this since I do not have these short reads?

Hello

Per SPAdes manual (https://cab.spbu.ru/files/release3.15.5/manual.html#sec3.1):

To run SPAdes 3.15.5 you need at least one library of the following types:

  • Illumina paired-end/high-quality mate-pairs/unpaired reads
  • IonTorrent paired-end/high-quality mate-pairs/unpaired reads
  • PacBio CCS reads

SPAdes cannot be used with ONT data alone
