Read metrics for reads basecalled by five different basecallers

Basecaller	Total reads	Total yield (Gb)	Read length	Read identity	Insertion rate	Deletion rate
Halcyon	3 225 205	20.5	6359 ± 5702	0.894 ± 0.084	0.028 ± 0.023	0.041 ± 0.043
Guppy	3 150 600	20.5	6519 ± 5748	0.905 ± 0.080	0.021 ± 0.018	0.041 ± 0.044
Bonito	3 160 225	20.3	6410 ± 5664	0.902 ± 0.080	0.020 ± 0.016	0.045 ± 0.050
Chiron	2 129 764	17.4	8161 ± 5384	0.800 ± 0.061	0.047 ± 0.019	0.072 ± 0.033
Deepnano	2 783 926	18.4	6606 ± 5616	0.805 ± 0.055	0.042 ± 0.014	0.075 ± 0.030

Note: Except for total reads and total yield, the mean and standard deviation of each measurement is described. Read identity, insertion rate, deletion rate are obtained by aligning basecalled reads to reference by minimap2.
