Sequence contribution from each component dataset. Sp, species name; Cmp, component name; Unmated/Mated, number of non-paired or paired-end reads; Len, for unmated and mated, the average clear range per read in bases; Cov, fold coverage of the genome by reads; FLX reads originate from the 454 GS FLX sequencer. Sanger reads originate from the ABI 3730 sequencer.
