1 The percentage of sequences at a sequencing error rate of less than 1%; 2 N50 is used to measure the continuity of the assembly; the greater the value, the better the assembly is. The calculation method is as follows: first, we ranked the transcripts according to their length in descending order, then accumulated one by one to 50% of the total length of all transcripts; the length of the last accumulated transcript is N50.
