Percentage of reads mapped (five edits or fewer), and mapped with a given number of errors, for one million simulated reads using the codes with probe generators as specified. For comparison, figures are also given using only the two-base-encoding probe set (probe generator ‘None’). Since color-space reads have their first position trimmed before mapping to produce reads 49 colors long, the percentages of mapped reads and reads with a given number of errors are slightly inflated compared to those given for base-space reads.
