Quality metrics for digitally-normalized and non-normalized test assemblies of next generation sequencing reads from the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus using the library from diapause (D) conditions at 11 days post-oviposition.

	Number of reads	Number of contigs	Minimum contig length	Average contig length	Median contig length	Maximum contig length	Mean % paired reads mapped to assembly
Without normalization	111,574,867	93,622	94	1,042.3	619	14,481	68.6
Digital normalization	17,351,298	76,018	96	947.2	553	14,480	75.3
