Will metaspades.py or rnaspades.py will provide redundant contigs?

Thanks for this great tool!

When I use this tool to assemble illumina reads (150nt), I am curious whether redundant contigs will be generated？

Because lots of redundant reads are in my fastq files.

Thanks in advance!

By "redundant" did you mean contigs with identical sequences? Certainly not, assemblers work in other way

Thanks for your reply！

Yes，the “redundant” in my question means the contigs with identical sequences.
