-> Melon takes **quality-controlled** long reads as input. We suggest removing low-quality raw reads before running Melon with e.g., `nanoq -q 10 -l 1000` (min. quality score 10; min. read length 1,000 bp). If your sample is known to have a large proportion of human DNAs or other eukaryotes/viruses and you want to estimate the **mean genome size** of prokaryotes, please consider removing them via proper mapping, or enabling the simple pre-filtering module. See [Run Melon with pre-filtering of non-prokaryotic reads](#run-melon-with-pre-filtering-of-non-prokaryotic-reads) for more details.
