Time and memory usage for overlap extension and assembly on viral metagenomic data from human plasam

		Time (m: minutes, h: hours)				Memory (GB)
Mismatch rate		5%	10%	15%	20%	5%	10%	15%	20%
Overlap extension	Building index	127m	127m	127m	127m	2.4	2.4	2.4	2.4
	Recruitment	8m	14m	20m	23m	3.5	3.5	3.5	3.5
De novo Assembly	TAR-VIR	5m	7m	18m	20m	2	2.8	3.5	4
	SGA	2m	2m	3m	5m	0.9	0.9	0.9	0.9
	SPAdes	5m	5m	6m	8m	1	1	1	1
	SAVAGE	2h	8h	14h	18h	31	45	51	59
Reference-based assembly	HaploClique			33h				5
	Viquas			72h				4
	drVM			23m				1
Extension-based assembly	PRICE			1h46m				5

The de novo assembly time and memory usage were evaluated on recruited reads based on mismatch rate from 5% to 20%. HaploClique, Viquas, drVM and PRICE were applied only on recruited reads based on mismatch rate of 15%
