Extended Data Fig. 3. Validation the assembly of gaps closed by the contigs of PacBio assembly.

Extended Data Fig. 3

The validity of four gaps closed by the contigs of PacBio Hifiasm assembly were confirmed by the uniform ONT and/or PacBio reads coverage and tiling ONT reads. Black shades refer local coverage-anomalous regions. We noted that in gaps 7 and 10, a part of the ONT contigs not aligned to HiFi contigs were removed in the final assembly. Compared to the normal gap ends (which were remained in the final assembly) with gradually decreased coverage, almost no aligned ONT reads were observed for these regions removed in the final assembly, which suggested that these removed parts of contigs were in fact redundant or misassembled fragments, and further confirmed the assemblies of these gap-closed regions.
