Draft genomes generated by Miniasm is polished 10 rounds by Racon to calculate the statistics. Assembly identity rates are presented in the left 4 columns, relative lengths are presented in the right 4 columns. Identity rate (%) is calculated by first shredding the assembly contigs into 10K read fragments and then obtaining the mean of the identity rate of the aligned reads, relative length (%) is defined as the sum of the length of all the aligned pieces divided by the length of the reference genome. E. coli-S10 and E. coli-S18 are reads from two independent sequencing events.
