(Cov) coverage; (CpM) cutoff plus marker; (Ctgs) contigs; (F−) false-negative; (F+) false-positive; (Qs) questionable. 

The data set has perfect data, 145–185 kb clone lengths, a marker every 20 kb, and a tolerance of 7. 

a

Percentage buried in which a buried clone has 90% or more shared bands with the parent clone. 

b

The largest contig with no Q clones and its order triple. 

c

The number of clones that have an F+ overlap for the 1e-08 and 1e-10 cutoff, respectively. In parentheses is the number of regions that have F+ overlaps. The number of F+ overlaps is the same for 1e-10 with or without markers. 

d

The CpM rules are (1 1e-08) (2 1e-07) (3 1e-06). 

e

There are four chimeric contigs, but the fourth does not have Q clones. The three F+'s occur at the end of two contigs and bridge the contigs with little difficulty, i.e., F+'s at the ends of contigs causing an incorrect merge may result in a number of extra bands and gaps that looks the same as error in the data.
