Evaluation of GAPPadder and GapCloser on closing gaps for bed bug draft genome

Category		GAPPadder	GapCloser
Fully closed	Reported	19,476	3299
	Validated	14,925	2737
Extended	Reported	52,879	2417
	Validated	37,802	20

The draft genome is initially assembled with high coverage short reads, and then improved with long reads. GAPPadder fully closes 14,925 out of reported 19,476 gaps and extends 37,802 out of reported 52,879 gaps. As a comparison, GapCloser fully closes 2737 (3299 are reported) gaps and extends 20 (2417 are reported) gaps
