Comparison of Reads and Assemblies for Illumina Data with and without Quality Control.

The table is divided into three sections. The upper section describes the raw data before and after quality control. The second, describes the accuracy of the data as determined by mapping the reads back to the reference genomes (allowing for 2 mismatches). The last section compares the length of the contigs that result from assembly of the raw and trimmed data. N50 is defined as the length N for which 50% of all bases are represented in fragments of length L
