[i] Results from de novo assembly of genomes by second-generation sequencing platforms. Summary of inputs and assembly results of recent genome assemblies using SGS reads.

[ii] ^aStatus indicates when the assembly was published; “announced” assemblies have been described publicly but not yet published.

[iii] ^bThe number of estimated genome size units contained in the sum of read lengths.

[iv] ^cThe same value for the sum of lengths of fragments from which paired reads were sequenced.

[v] ^dContig total greater than scaffold total is largely attributable to “single haplotype contigs.”

[vi] ^eNumber of scaffolds includes single-contig scaffolds. There were 5201 multicontig scaffolds.
