[i] The total size of all initial sequence contigs that are input to the assembly and the total size of the contigs produced by the assembly, both in gigabases, are shown for the assemblies produced byGigAssembler. Percent of the genome covered is estimated as described in the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (2001) As the quality of the input data improved, the amount of artifactual duplication was reduced, resulting in a higher increase in the percentage of the genome covered relative to the increase in the total size of the contigs of the assembly.
