Q20 refers to a score of 20 on the Phred scale of base quality scores; here we present the total number of bases in the assembly with a Phred score greater than 20 (3.05 Gb, which is 98.5% of assembled bases). N50 refers to a length-weighted median such that 50% of the genome is contained in contigs or scaffolds of the indicated size or greater.
