Figure 6. Comparison of marine sediment genome drafts generated by read cloud sequencing with standard short-read vs. Athena assembly.

Figure 6

Athena read cloud assembly (gold) consistently produced more genome drafts than standard short-read assembly (blue) with genome bins assessed as genome drafts under various quality criteria. Athena read cloud assembly allowed significantly more 16S rRNA (16S) taxonomic sequences to be assigned to genome drafts than short-read assembly. The number of a) intermediate-quality (>70% completeness and <10% contamination) genome drafts b) intermediate-quality genome drafts with assembled 16S rRNA sequences, and c) high-quality genome drafts with assembled 16S rRNA sequences with a minimum short read coverage depth are shown.
