Extended Data Fig. 1: Contig-level comparison of pCLR and HiFi assemblies.

a. Strategy for generating the read sets for the three pCLR and the HiFi assemblies. b. Comparison of contig length distributions in the four assemblies demonstrating a tendency for pCLR assembly to create longer contigs. c. Comparison of the total length of each assembly after separation of contigs into predicted Superkingdoms demonstrating an increased length from HiFi assembly among assigned Superkingdom and reduced length in unassigned bin. d. Comparison of the completeness of pCLR and HiFi assemblies based on the presence of >90% expected single-copy genes with <5% redundancy.
