(Ctgs) contigs; (F−) false-negative; (F+) false-positive; (Qs) questionable; (Tol) tolerance. 

The data set has a 15× coverage, 10,015 clones, seven gaps, 145–185 kb lengths, one chimeric contig, and uses 7 tolerance and a 1e-10 cutoff. 

a

Adds a band of 1387, 3695, and 3766 to 85%, 33%, and 33% of the clones, respectively. 

b

The F+'s occurred at the ends of two contigs, so the incorrectly merged contig assembled without causing a stack, i.e., Q clones. 

c

Adds or subtracts a tolerance of 0 through 7 for (16, 20, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 4) of the bands, respectively. 

d

Uses all of the previous error.
