Size and N50 were calculated for sequences whose length ≥ 500 bp. Size represents the size of assemblies generated by each assembler. QV and switch error rate were calculated by Merqury. Phasing accuracy represents the proportion of the majority of hap-mers in a scaffold, and a high value of this indicator suggests large-scale haplotype consistency. A bold value indicates the best one for each input assembly
