Fig 3. Hybrid assembly performance measured by NGA50 length.

Abyss-assembled contigs (A) and SPAdes-assembled contigs (S) from short reads were separately scaffolded by the scaffolders including AHA, Cerulean and SSPACE-LongReads using long reads (SMRT1 and SMRT2). SPAdes 3.0 and PBcR pipeline synthesized the short and long reads as inputs. ECTools + runCA: the ECTools-corrected long reads were assembled de novo by runCA.
