a

Only the coding part in the de novo assembly is considered.

b

The whole-genome sequences in the assembly are considered.

c

Median of the overall sequence depth (the number of times that each nucleotide was sequenced).

d

Length of the assembly covering the portion of the genome considered.

e

Percent coverage of the reference sequence (GenBank accession numbers for segments 1 to 8 for isolate R65/2006, DQ464357, DQ464361, DQ464360, DQ464354, DQ464359, DQ464355, DQ464356, and DQ464358, respectively; accession numbers for segments 1 to 8 for for isolates R747/2006, R1372/07, and R1959/07, AM744956, AM744955, AM744954, AM492165, AM744952, AM492166, AM744957, and AM744953, respectively).

f

Number of bases with a quality score of ≥40 (Q40+), i.e., with a probability of ≥99.99% for the individual bases, and the percentage of bases with a quality score of ≥40 in the sequence portion considered.
