Summary of de novo YH genome assembly.

The data from the YH project was used for the contig and initial scaffold assembly. Then, the long-range PE data were added step by step for scaffold construction. Genome coverage and gene coverage was calculated using the NCBI build 37 and RefSeq gene set as reference, respectively. The X and Y chromosomes were excluded while calculating genome coverage and gene coverage. For calculation of scaffold N50, N90 and total length, the intra-scaffold gaps were included.
