A synthetic community used to demonstrate the utility of Meta3C sequencing data in resolving a microbial metagenome [17,41]. It is composed of 3 bacteria with 1 possessing 2 chromosomes. A is relative abundance, n_cpy is copy number, n_x is number of restriction sites, and m = n_x/n₀ is match quality between chromosome and enzyme choice: m < 1 is worse, m > 1 is better.
