Evaluation of the completeness and the consensus quality of the Arabidopsis assemblies after scaffolding with PacBio data with SAMBA.

We computed the average consensus quality of the gap-filling sequences for different levels of long-read coverage based on the number of mismatches, insertions and deletions reported by QUAST before and after scaffolding. Because more gaps were closed at higher coverage, the average error rate of the patches decreased only marginally.
