Summary statistics of data obtained using two different sequencing approaches: Illumina (RAD-seq) and 454 (shotgun).

Note that the eight elephant samples (1 to 8) used in Illumina RAD-sequencing are different from the two.samples (A and B) used in 454 shotgun sequencing.*weighted median statistic such that 50% of the entire assembly is contained in the number of contigs equal.to or greater than this value.#>q20: 0.01% chance that a base was wrongly called.$identified in elephant sample 4.
