Characteristics of the old and improved Schistosoma mansoni genome assemblies.

aVersion 4.0 of the S. mansoni genome was the published draft genome [3]. Note the sequence in version v4.0 was identical to the previously released v3.1.bVersion 5.0.cThis figure refers to a “super-scaffold” of chromosome I sequence where 41 assembly-scaffolds are linked using genetic markers.d101,079,940 pairs of Illumina reads.eReads mapped in their correct orientation and at a distance apart that corresponds to that predicted by the fragment library size.fReads that mapped in their correct orientation but at a distance apart that did not match that predicted by the fragment library size.
