Performance of SAG error correction

Program	% perfect	% chimeric	% better	% worse
Raw	22.52 ± 1.07	0.73 ± 0.15	–	–
BayesHammer	80.35 ± 8.77	0.77 ± 0.17	71.66 ± 2.12	0.33 ± 0.06
MeCorS	95.52 ± 0.43	0.06 ± 0.02	75.45 ± 1.11	0.26 ± 0.03

Mean percentage and standard deviation of perfect reads, chimeric reads (i.e. reads with parts mapped to different places), corrected reads becoming better and worse than the raw reads. Evaluation as described in Li (2015); please refer to Supplementary Table S3 for per-SAG metrics, including runtime and memory usage.
