Generated contigs were compared with the reference genome using QUAST v2.3 [23]. The number of indels is the total number of insertions and deletions in the aligned bases. The number of relocations, inversions, and translocations are classified as misassemblies. A relocation is defined as a misassembly in which the left and right flanking sequences both align to the same chromosome on the reference but are either >1 kb apart or overlap by >1 kb. An inversion is a misassembly in which the left and right flanking sequences both align to the same chromosome but on opposite strands. A translocation is a misassembly in which the flanking sequences align on different chromosomes. Genome coverage is the percentage of bases aligned to the reference genome.
