N2  - In shotgun sequencing projects, the genome or BAC length is not always  known. We approach estimating genome length by first estimating the repeat  structure of the genome or BAC, sometimes of interest in its own right, on the  basis of a set of random reads from a genome project. Moreover, we can find  the consensus for repeat families before assembly. Our methods are based on  the ℓ-tuple content of the reads.
