Table 4.

Accuracy of consensus sequences generated from MinION sequencing data by three methods. Sequence accuracy of the raw consensus (Raw), consensus after polishing with raw reads using Nanopolish (Polished), and Nanopolished consensus after manual correction of indels in homopolymer regions (Manual) is shown relative to Sanger sequencing consensus. Sequence accuracy and number of sequences examined are shown for six different read depth levels. Accuracy above 99.99% is highlighted in red text.
