De novo C. elegans genome assembly from MinION-generated long reads. Comparison of Canu-generated genome assemblies for individual and combined flow cell data. (A) Distribution of contig sizes for different assemblies. Number in parentheses refers to total contigs in the assembly. (B) Plot of contig coverage of the reference genome from assemblies produced from the individual and combined flow cells. Arrows denote the number of contigs that align to the C. elegans reference genome.
