Fig. 1

Paired comparisons of mitoVGP assemblies with NOVOPlasty and Genbank/RefSeq assemblies. NOVOPlasty assemblies are split into three categories: (1) circular (green), (2) single-contig (yellow), (3) multiple-contigs (orange). a–d Comparisons between NOVOPlasty and mitoVGP assemblies for sequence identity (a, including and excluding IUPAC bases), assembly length (b), annotated repeat length (c, in circular NOVOPlasty assemblies and matched mitoVGP assemblies), and number of gene duplications (d, in circular NOVOPlasty assemblies and matched mitoVGP assemblies). Note that in panel a, single-contig assemblies show levels of identity very similar to circular ones, and therefore they largely overlap and are difficult to distinguish from the figure. e–h Genbank/RefSeq comparisons of mitogenome assembly length (e), annotated repeat length (f), number of missing genes (g), and number of gene duplications (h). Statistical significance (one-sided paired samples Wilcoxon test) is reported above each plot. In the first plot, outliers having identity < 99.7% are labeled. Top10 outliers in the 20th and 80th percentiles are labeled in the other plots
