Fig. 1.

Relationship between percentage of each genome recovered (genome fraction), the number of contigs generated for each combination of genome and assembler and the abundance and proportion of repeats for each genome. a, b Genomes are ordered by their average genome fraction across all assemblers from high to low along the x-axis. a (main) Relative abundance, normalised by genome length is plotted along y-axis with upper limit of 0.75% and colour of bars determined by proportion of repeat regions in each genome. Blue bars represent genomes with a high proportion of genomic repeats (4th quartile of all genomes) and red represents all other genomes below this quartile. a (insert) Expanded view of a without an upper limit of y value. b Percentage genome recovered is plotted along the y-axis. Points are coloured by assembler with shape of the point is denoting number of contigs generated by each assembler for each genome
