Simulation results on the assembly of several real genomes using reads corrupted by substitution noise ((a) Prochlorococcus marinus (b) Helicobacter pylori (c) Methanococcus maripaludis (d) Mycoplasma agalactiae)withℓ_crit = max(ℓ_int,ℓ_tri), ${\tilde{\ell }}_{\mathsf{\text{crit}}}=\mathsf{\text{max}}\left({\tilde{\ell }}_{\mathsf{\text{int}}},{\tilde{\ell }}_{\mathsf{\text{tri}}}\right)$ and N_noiseless is the lower bound on number of reads in the noiseless case for 1 - ϵ = 95% confidence recovery
