Note: Time (in seconds) and recall (as percentage of the total sequences aligned) for error-sensitive algorithms. Two different penalty schemes were used: first corresponding to the default values used by BWA-MEM (i.e. x=4,o=6,e=2), and second matching Bowtie2’s end-to-end alignment scores (i.e. x=6,o=5,e=3).
