Naive code to calculate N50 in Perl

A critical stage in genome sequencing is the assembly of shotgun reads, or piecing together fragments randomly extracted from the sample, to form a set of contiguous sequences (contigs) representing the DNA in the sample [1]. N50 is one of the quality parametres of genome assembly. N50 indicates the scaffold/contigs length such that 50% of [...]
