Table 2. Length distribution of assembled transcripts and unigenes.

Transcript Unigene
Total number of transcripts or unigenes 38,950 23,417
Number of transcripts or unigenes (200–500 bp) 10,082 8,810
Number of transcripts or unigenes (500–1000 bp) 5,945 3,971
Number of transcripts or unigenes (1000–2000 bp) 9,003 5,045
Number of transcripts or unigenes (> 2000 kbp) 13,920 5,591
Total length (bp) 75,459,645 33,233,628
Min length (bp) 201 201
Max length (bp) 24,163 24,163
Mean length (bp) 1,937 1,419
N50 (bp)a 3,235 2,542
N90 (bp)a 1,010 605

The N50 size is computed by sorting all transcripts from largest to smallest and by determining the minimum set of transcripts whose sizes total 50% of the entire transcript and unigene was the same; N90 was counted in a similar way.
