Genome survey analysis employs low-coverage sequencing of small-fragment libraries using NGS technology. Through K-mer analysis, this approach rapidly characterizes fundamental genomic attributes—including genome size, heterozygosity, and repeat content—providing a critical foundation for designing robust de novo whole genome sequencing strategies.
