I wrote a new blog post with @GB13Faithless: https://rrwick.github.io/2024/02/15/misassemblies.html
In it, we describe a couple interesting mistakes we found in long-read bacterial genome assemblies. I think they demonstrate a few valuable lessons:
1) Assemblers do not like structural heterogeneity! Often results in a misassembly.
2) Some misassemblies are completely mysterious and have no clear cause.
3) Assembly can be non-deterministic: re-running an assembly with identical parameters can give a different result.
