Notes: Using NanoOK [26], 1D reads were aligned to the corresponding reference genome and the error profiles of aligned reads were evaluated. NanoOK outputs read error profiles for each reference contig. To obtain overall error profiles for all reads, the values for each contig were multiplied by the proportion of total reads that aligned to that contig. The sum of these values for each error metric were scaled according to the proportion of total sequencing reads that were used for NanoOK’s analysis
