Using RagTag to close the gaps in a chromosome or reference genome using long-read data

[gforg34]

Hi,

So I have a draft-genome assembly assembled with short-read data and with many repeptitive and uncharacterized regions. Moreover, I have low coverage (9x) long-read data recently generated from a different accession but same species. Can I improve this genome assembly using RagTag and close some gaps using these data? Have you tried in similar situations before?

Kind regards
