Description of bug

I run binspreader after metaspades assembly and binning with VAMB and assessed bin quality with checkM2.
My metaenome is relatively simple infant gut.

My comparison binspreader increased completeness for some bins it increased contamination for most of the bins.

I played around with adding pe-reads or not
toogle sparse-propagation ...
Results seem not much changed

There might be the option to tune the la parameter but I have no idea how much..
