Table 1. Summary assembly statistics before and after Pilon improvement.
Genome | M. tuberculosis F11 | S. pneumoniae TIGR4 | C. albicans SC5314 |
Contig N50 Increase | 196 kb | 443 kb | 56 kb |
Bases Added | 11,516 | 9,608 | 33,804 |
Gaps Closed | 9 | 9 | 54 |
Gaps Shrunk | 7 | 7 | 102 |
Single-base Modifications | 20 | 27 | 26,939 |
Mis-assembly fixes | 3 | 1 | 44 |
In all cases the assemblies were more contiguous, contained more bases, and had fewer gaps and errors after Pilon improvement.
