Comparison between vamos and greedy method. The quality of an annotation was measured calculating the edit distance between the nucleotide sequences translated from the annotated string of motifs and the original assembled sequences. An annotation is significantly better if the corresponding edit distance is less than 80% of that of the other

	Average number of loci per assembly
vamos < greedy	15,170
vamos <$80\%\times$greedy	8097
greedy < vamos	13,479
