MinION produces high contiguity C. elegans genome assembly. MUMmer alignment plot of contigs from assembly of combined data from flow cells 114 and 115 against the C. elegans reference genome. The C. elegans chromosomes are arranged by size along the x-axis and 114+115 contigs along the y-axis. Forward strand matches are in red and reverse strand matches are in blue. Note that the large bacterial contigs 14 and 20 do not align to the C. elegans reference genome.
