Table 1.

Comparison of statistics including read lengths, number of reads and number of bases for the raw 454 reads, with SMART adapters still attached, for Roche gsRunProcessor shotgun signal-processing pipeline versions 2.3 and 2.6. N50 values for versions 2.3 and 2.6, respectively, indicate that 50 % of the bases are in lengths of 407 and 398 bases or greater
