aAdjusted for 1252 ‘NoFp’ 0 band clones only (includes all clones with ≥1 band).

bAdjusted for all 0–4 band clones, contamination-suspect clones and most high band number (>65) clones.

cBased on 4.5 kb per unique band, for 2854 contigs containing ∼68 unique bands in 15 clones, 264 duplicated region contigs containing ∼68 unique bands in 30 clones, 15 840 unique bands, and 406 highly repeated region contigs containing ∼68 unique bands in 60 clones, 48 720 unique bands.

dBased on 4.0 kb per unique band.
