Fig. 1From: Optimizing sequencing protocols for leaderboard metagenomics by combining long and short readsIllustration of the benchmarking workflow using sample 1 as “primary.” Data products are represented by white ellipses and processing methods by gray rounded rectangles. The workflow consists of two parts. In the first part (TSLR reference creation), TSLR data are generated and assembled for primary sample 1. Coverage information from additional samples is used to bin the TSLR contigs into reference genome bins. In the second part (Assembly evaluation), primary sample 1 is sequenced using various short-read sequencing methods. Assemblies from these alternative methods are then compared against the internal reference to benchmark performanceBack to article page
