Fig. 2From: OPERA-LG: efficient and exact scaffolding of large, repeat-rich eukaryotic genomes with performance guaranteesImprovements in multi-library scaffolding. a–d The improved correlation between empirical estimates and true edge lengths when using the procedure in OPERA-LG in comparison with the “naïve estimation” that is commonly used (results reported are for the 10-kbp libraries). e, f. The improvements in corrected assembly N50 and reduction in corresponding assembly errors when using the multi-library scaffolding implemented in OPERA-LG in comparison with a commonly used hierarchical scaffolding approach that considers libraries independently in order of their insert size Back to article page
