  • CA, Celera Assembler output; Arachne, Arachne output; CA Bambus and Arachne Bambus, Bambus scaffolds based on Celera Assembler and Arachne contigs; norep., Bambus scaffolds after repeats were masked. The first two columns indicate the maximum and N50 sizes and spans (see main text). The “# errors” column indicates the number of contigs that were incorrectly scaffolded with respect to the reference genome.
