Summary of unaligned reference regions
| Total bp | Regions | Average size | Maximum size | Mean k-mer coverage | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nipponbare | 11,750,969 | 57,821 | 203 ± 350 | 12,773 | 12,210× |
| IR64 | 41,639,095 | 133,536 | 311 ± 921 | 27,087 | 7,938× |
| DJ123 | 37,010,281 | 122,589 | 302 ± 931 | 26,236 | 6,121× |
Mean k-mer coverage was evaluated by counting the k-mers in a sample of 400 M unassembled reads in each of the three genomes, and evaluating those counts along the reference sequence.
