Estimate Genome Size
- http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11434
- GSP - incorporate the Bayesian framework and EM algorithm for the genome size prediction
- People skeptical of this method http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10988
- Other Method - http://www.cmb.usc.edu/papers/msw_papers/msw-149.pdf
Motivation
http://phagesdb.org/sort/ - it looks like genome size and gc% roughly correlates to the phage cluster
