Summary statistics of the assemblies used to assess the performances of the Multiple-k de novo assembly method based on the Aedes aegypti RNA-seq data set (Gibbons et al. 2009)

[i] These statistics correspond to the set of contigs >100 bp. (k-mer) Required length of identical overlap match between two reads by Velvet (Zerbino and Birney 2008); (N50) contig length-weighted median; (Max length) length of the longest contig; (Total length) summed length of all contigs >100 bp; (No. of transcripts) number of different reference transcripts retrieved (and proportion of the total number of transcripts in the reference transcriptome); (Reference coverage) number of bases of the reference transcriptome covered by the assembly (proportion of the total length).
