Coverage is shown for the two kindreds for different read sizes with long reads as those which are at least 45 base pairs in length. Since pilot three was a target enrichment study, the coverage was calculated as the average coverage over the target regions. The pilot two coverage was calculated as the average effective coverage based on the size of the reads.
