Mean length of contigs present or removed in the Heliothis subflexa and Drosophila melanogaster transcriptome by the filtering steps of Bellerophon

	Mean contigs length
	H. subflexa		D. melanogaster
	All contigs		All contigs		Chimera only
	Present	Removed	Present	Removed	Present	Removed
Pre‐Bellerophon	1,385.2		1,474.1		2,267.4
Post‐TPM	1,358.9	1,402.2	1,469.1	1685.7	2,253.9	2,730.2
Post‐CD‐HIT	1,329.5	1,497.9	1,494.2	1,352.9	2,251.3	2,268.2
Post‐Bellerophon	1,369.2	817.3	1,396.8	1762.3	1910.4	2,856.4

The means for D. melanogaster are for the de novo transcriptome assembled from real RNA‐Seq reads.
