Comparison of assemblies here to that of Release 6. (A) D-Genies dot plots of the Release 6 reference genome assembly scaffolds for Drosophila melanogaster (x-axis) versus our contig- (top) and scaffold-level (bottom) assemblies of iso-1, A4, and A3. (B) Repeat content comparison of iso-1 Release 6 assembly versus our iso-1 HiFi assembly for each Muller element (i.e., autosomal chromosome arms and the X Chromosome). (C) Comparison of total sequence assigned to euchromatic and heterochromatic compartments in iso-1 Rel6 versus iso-1 HiFi for 2 and 3 Chromosomes. (D) Cumulative length plot for assembly contigs of strains used in this study and iso-1 Release 6. The x-axis is on a log10 scale.
