Performance with reference genomes of variable similarity

The tests were performed on the human chromosome 14 sample where the listed primate genomes served as reference. The results include the percentage values of aalignable reads, bExtendable contigs relative to the initial set cImprovements of the N50 values relative to the extendable contigs. Because of space limitations, the latter two rows contain averaged percentage values for the five assemblers ALLPATHS-LG, SOAPdenovo, MaSuRCA, CABOG and Bambus2.
