  1. Only contigs > = 500nt were aligned to the mock1 reference genomes. Number of reads, contigs and the size of the largest contig after each assembly are reported, along with: N50 (bp), a common statistic to evaluate the assembly quality; Genome fraction (%), corresponding to the mean percentage of the genome reconstructed during the assembly; the means for Mismtaches per 100kbps and Indels (Insertions/Deletions) per 100kbps, to evaluate the distance of the reconstructed genome to the reference genome). The number of fully unaligned contigs and the respective length (pb) are reported. * Full genome: More than 99% genome recovery.
