Fig. 3.

Sequencing statistics for human, chigger, and rodent samples. Panels show a) total number of reads and b) the percentage of reads which were mapped to the reference genome. Panel c) shows the sequence duplication rate and d) shows the coverage of the core genome. Box and whisker plots show the distribution of the data, with the whiskers marking the maximum and minimum values with outliers removed (where outliers are defined as points outside 1.5 interquartile ranges of the lower and upper quartile).
