Table 2.

Four different orders were used to merge the four initial assemblies with the Metassembler tool, where PICR starts with the PacBio SMRT assembly, after which the Illumina assembly is merged into it, followed by the CSA assembly and the RefSeq assembly

Base assembly	Added in Step 1	Step 2	Step 3	Name
PacBio SMRT	Illumina	CSA	RefSeq	PICR
PacBio SMRT	Illumina	RefSeq	CSA	PIRC
Illumina	PacBio SMRT	CSA	RefSeq	IPCR
Illumina	PacBio SMRT	RefSeq	CSA	IPRC

Note. CSA, chromosome‐sorted assembly; PacBio SMRT, Pacific Biosciences SMRT assembly; SMRT, single molecule real time.
