N50 is the length for which the collection of all contigs of that length or longer covers at least half an assembly. N75, defined similarly to N50, with 75% instead of 50%.

a

Strains sequenced by others (Danin-Poleg et al., 2013; Phillips et al., 2014).

b

The average number of mismatches per 100,000 aligned bases. True SNPs and sequencing errors are not distinguished and are counted equally.

c

The average number of indels per 100,000 aligned bases. Several consecutive single nucleotide indels are counted as one indel.

d

Percentage of aligned bases in the reference.
