Table 5. Performance of Nucmer4, BLASR and BWA MEM on data simulated by pbsim from human and Arabidopsis reference genomes.

All numbers are percentages from the total of bases that are in the reads aligned correctly, missed, or aligned incorrectly. The numbers may not add to exactly 100 due to rounding.

	Arabidopsis			Human
	Aligned Correctly	Missed	Aligned Incorrectly	Aligned Correctly	Missed	Aligned Incorrectly
nucmer4	94.0	3.5	2.5	84.4	10.9	4.6
blasr	98.2	0.2	1.7	91.8	5.0	3.2
bwa-mem	98.7	0.5	0.8	91.6	5.9	2.5
