A maximal relative assembly score of 1 refers to the assembler with the best assembly performance. All other assembly scores are expressed as relative fractions of their corresponding maximum. For genomes Bce, Efa and Pst each relative assembly score was calculated on the basis of 30 assembly sets. Assembly sets originated from same-genome sequencing libraries differing in category (average insert size), read length and sequencing depth. For Sen the number of assembly sets per relative assembly score was 10
max** Absolute value in nucleotides of the maximal relative assembly score of the column
