Table 2.

Comparing the consensus from mapping to the reference constructed by shiver with the contigs (after correction of the contigs by shiver).

Length of sequence present in the contigs but missing from the consensus	Min	0
	Median	0
	Mean	0
	Max	0
Length of sequence present in the consensus but missing from the contigs	Min	0
	Median	0
	Mean	114.1
	Max	2,443
Number of positions where all corrected contigs disagree with the consensus	Min	0
	Median	7
	Mean	13.7
	Max	106

Minima, medians, means, and maxima are over the combined set of sixty-five Miseq and fifty Hiseq samples processed. Means are rounded to one decimal place.
